Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is rare, serious and misunderstood. It has a huge impact on people’s lives, and the PHA UK is dedicated to reducing that burden through support, advice, information and advocacy. They raise awareness and fund research to provide better treatments, with the hope of one day finding a cure for this devastating disease.

The PHA UK receives no government funding, so every penny donated plays a vital role in helping them support people to live better lives with PH.

I’m raising money to raise awareness and research for this debilitating and rare disease. My mum was diagnosed with the disease over a year ago and it has changed her life. I’m hoping by raising funds that more research can take place to avoid others having to suffer this awful disease.

Throughout June I will be walking the length of a marathon. I will be doing this at weekends and in the evenings. I will be posting progress reports on Facebook and Twitter. Feel free to share these so that as many people as possible can donate to this important cause.
