To celebrate Rare Disease Day 2026, we’re taking part in a special fundraising challenge to raise awareness for Addison’s disease and adrenal insufficiency: the ‘Steps for Addison’s Awareness’ Challenge!

From 1 - 28 February 2026, we’re stepping up and take on a virtual walking challenge to represent the challenging journey faced by many living with Addison’s and adrenal insufficiency.

Our step goal is 6,000 steps per person per day.

Let’s walk towards greater awareness of Addison's and adrenal insufficiency this Rare Disease Day!

The Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) is the UK charity supporting everyone affected by adrenal insufficiency, including Addison’s disease.

Everything they do is driven by a bold vision:

"A world where Addison’s disease and adrenal insufficiency are recognised early and managed effectively so that anyone affected can live confidently and thrive."

With your help, they’re working to make that vision a reality. Every penny and pound you raise can make a big difference to this small charity!
