🏃 Brighton Marathon 2026 to raise money for ITSAN 🏃
Hi, I am Chloe and I am running Brighton Marathon this April to raise awareness and hopefully some funds for a cause incredibly close to my heart - ITSAN (The International Topical Steroid Awareness Network).
ITSAN is a non-profit organization that supports individuals going through Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW): a debilitating condition caused by the use of topical steroid medications (creams often prescribed for eczema). For those affected, everyday life becomes a battle against pain, insomnia, infections, and emotional distress. Many suffer for years in silence, misunderstood or misdiagnosed, with little medical recognition or support.
Why ITSAN?
This cause is deeply personal to me as I went through/am still recovering from TSW. ITSAN has been a source of hope, providing information, support groups, and advocacy for sufferers and their loved ones. Their work is essential and they are truly incredible.
How Your Donation Helps:
Your support will help ITSAN continue its mission to:
Educate the public and medical community about TSW
Provide resources and community for sufferers and caregivers
Advocate for safer long-term treatment practices in dermatology
Thank you for reading and see you at the finish line!
Lots of love,
Chlo x
