PANS and PANDAS is nationwide, and our call for change is national.

I'm joining #ChallengeforPANSPANDAS on their biggest challenge yet: collectively walking the length of the UK—874 miles!

I'll add 50 miles to the journey to bring hope to families and raise awareness of these conditions nationwide.

Why does this charity matter to me?

I fell ill when I was just 13, over 8 years I was misdiagnosed with a handful of conditions. I continued to get worse every year until I learnt about PANS PANDAS and received my PANS diagnosis. 2 1/2 years post diagnosis I am 90% better and able to engage in life again. More doctors need to be aware of what PANS PANDAS is and how to treat it.

PANS PANDAS causes a range of symptoms including:

OCD, tics, eating resistrictions, hallucinations, age regression, rage, seizures, behavioural changes, fatigue, nightmares, and so much more
