Welcome to my JustGiving page.

I'm Lauren, and I volunteer for the Pituitary Foundation, a charity that is very important to me. This year I formed the Kent Support Group, to help support people with pituitary conditions. Having a pituitary condition can be isolating, lonely, and people are left feeling misunderstood, confused, and rare. Feelings that are all too familiar after my diagnosis of Acromegaly 10 years ago, which has left me with life changing ailments and sight loss.

The Pituitary Foundation is non-government funded charity, the PF is an amazing source of support for people living with Pituitary conditions.

I have set up this group as Pituitary conditions are complex and scary. Meeting people with the same and or similar rare conditions in a safe place, while sharing experiences and educating each other is something that I hope continues to help many people in the group.

The Kent group now has 40 people on the mailing list, I hope to have speakers, and clinicians with a special interest in endocrinology attend the meetings.

I am raising money to cover room hire costs, and ensure we have a safe space to meet, which will enable these talks and meetings.
