Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, which I'm using to raise money for the charity Forgotten Patients, Overlooked Diseases (FPOD). I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 11th October 2026 to raise money for this great cause.

Forgotten Patients, Overlooked Diseases exists to support people with persistent or medically unexplained symptoms, through education, research, patient stories, and practical guidance. Living with unexplained symptoms can be confusing, frustrating, and isolating. Many people feel dismissed, overlooked, or lost within the healthcare system.

FPOD's multidisciplinary team helps to support patients and their families who find themselves ‘lost’ by the healthcare system. They may have a rare, but often swiftly identifiable disease. They may have a common, often straightforward to manage condition, but have been misdiagnosed or mislabelled. They may present with symptoms that don't fit easily into a diagnostic category, or that don't fit into a single body system. FPOD helps to support people trying to get a diagnosis for their symptoms, or who have a rare condition.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
