I’m taking part in the #ChallengeforPANSPANDAS to help raise awareness for PANS and PANDAS, two conditions that have personally affected our family.

PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus) can cause sudden and severe changes in behavior, including anxiety, tics, and motor issues, often impacting a child's ability to function day-to-day.

These conditions can be life-changing, and by joining this national challenge, I hope to bring more attention to the struggles many families face. I’ll be walking an extra 50 miles as part of the collective effort to walk the length of the UK - 874 miles.

Your support will help bring much-needed hope, raise awareness, and contribute to vital work for families living with PANS and PANDAS.

Donating is quick, secure, and efficient through JustGiving, and all proceeds will go directly to PANS PANDAS UK.

Thank you for your generosity and support!
