60 miles 4 60 years

We’re the 10 million people living with arthritis in the UK. The carers, researchers and healthcare professionals. The family, friends and fundraisers. United by a clear vision: a future free from arthritis. One in which no one is limited by the pain, fatigue and isolation that arthritis can cause.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Sadly many members of my family and now myself, suffer from arthritis. Despite my arthritic feet and knee, I want to complete 60 miles - one mile for each year of my life so far across 4 days including my birthday on May 29th 2023. I will be walking with friends and family from 27th May to 30th May breaking the walk into 4 equal sections of 15 miles.

Walk completed and the picture is of my reception committee and Team Day 4. Although still standing at the end on May 30th, I was so tired...

I have chosen Versus Arthritis to donate funds to because millions of people wake up with arthritis every morning and face the day in pain, without the support and recognition they deserve. Arthritis attacks what it means to live and people with arthritis are often left to manage alone.

Versus Arthritis invests in breakthrough treatments, the best information and vital support for everyone affected by arthritis.

Please sponsor me so that together we can overcome the pain, isolation and fatigue of arthritis.
