Thank You for visiting our Page.

We're running Swansea Half Marathon in June and raising money for the Pituitary Foundation! We look forward to running into Spring and starting our training, and your support will definitely help.

'Hypopituitarism is a rare condition where the pituitary gland stops producing one or more hormones or doesn’t make them in large enough amounts.'

'Cortisol is essential for helping the body respond to stress and regulate other things like blood pressure, blood sugar and the immune response.'

Mari has Adrenal Insufficiency – She doesn’t produce enough Cortisol! She takes Hydrocortisone 3 times daily, and stress doses when unwell or under stress - to avoid adrenal crisis. Running a half marathon alone will require stress dossing to get her through!

Adrenal Insufficiency is rare, unlike diabetics, there is currently no way of checking Cortisol levels, so listening to her body and anticipating how she will react to certain situations is vital for everyday stability and survival.

Please help our motivation and spur us on with our training - Sponsor us, we'd really really appreciate it!!!
