I'm running to raise funds for NASS, supporting people with axial SpA, an inflammatory condition of the spine and joints, causing extreme pain, exhaustion, and limited movement.

This condition affects 1 in 200 adults in the UK, including my partner, Mariano.

If left untreated and symptoms are not managed, axial SpA can permanently fuse the spine and joints. It’s an invisible and misdiagnosed condition with no cure. It works silently, leaving people feeling increasing pain and extreme exhaustion, making basic daily tasks very difficult, or even impossible. Nearly a fifth of people with axial SpA receive no information when diagnosed.
