The Chronic Disease Research Foundation (CDRF), founded in May 1996, is an independent medical research charity. The CDRF funds a wide range of gene research programs that aim to discover the cause of chronic diseases such as long term COVID, cardiovascular disease, obesity, arthritis, dementia, back pain, and migraine. The CDRF runs many successful projects at the Department of Twin Research at St Thomas' Hospital. We hope that the results of this research will contribute to the development of future diagnostic tests and treatments. We rely entirely on non-governmental donations and grants to conduct our research.

Story

In March 2026 I’m taking on the challenge of a lifetime – trekking to Everest Base Camp.

It will be a test of endurance, strength, and determination, but every step I take will be for something far greater than myself.

I’m raising awareness and funds for three incredible charities:

Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, who save lives by reaching people in their greatest time of need.

PTSD UK, who support those living with the often-hidden struggles of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Mind, who work tirelessly to make sure no one faces a mental health problem alone.

Reaching the foot of the world’s highest mountain is more than an adventure – it’s a symbol of resilience, hope, and the belief that with the right support, we can overcome even the toughest challenges.

By supporting my trek, you’ll be helping these life-changing charities continue their vital work – saving lives, supporting minds, and giving people strength when they need it most.
