Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As most of you know I work as a rheumatologist helping people with arthritis on a daily basis. I see the benefits to my patients that Versus Arthritis brings in terms of support and research funding.

Millions of people wake up with arthritis every morning and face the day in pain, without the support and recognition they deserve. Arthritis attacks what it means to live and people with arthritis are often left to manage alone.

Versus Arthritis invests in breakthrough treatments, the best information and vital support for everyone affected by arthritis.

I was lucky enough to get a ballot place for the London Marathon. This is my first ever marathon despite being a regular runner over the years. Please sponsor me so that together we can overcome the pain, isolation and fatigue of arthritis.
