Joanna and Matthew are completing a 25km walk around London on 25th May 2024.

Joanna was diagnosed with a thyroid disorder at the age of 21. Being diagnosed and living with a thyroid disorder can have a big impact on your life, and its important research continues to make the symptoms and side effects easier for people to live with.

The British Thyroid Foundation is here to support the thousands of people across the UK living with thyroid disorders.

They work with medical professionals so their information is reliable and evidence based. They fund vital research into thyroid disease. Their telephone contacts and Facebook groups offer peer support and local groups support in the local community. They rely on donations and fundraising to continue this work.
