I'm hiking through the Lofoten Islands, in Norway covering a distance of 57km over 6 days & hoping to raise money for this incredible charity.

Where

200km north of the Arctic Circle, the Lofoten Islands rise like a barricade out of the vast Norwegian Sea. The islands form a chain of sharp granite peaks, soaring ridgelines and rocky outcrops covered in boisterous colonies of sea birds, which contrast with the calm sheltered bays, deep glacier cut fjords, long silver-sanded beaches and tiny fishing villages dotted with colourful fisherman’s ‘Rorbu'.

Medics for Rare Disease

Their Mission: To shape a medical profession that can provide people living with rare conditions a timely diagnoses and excellent care.

With over 7000 rare diseases, it’s impossible to know about all of them. However it is possible for doctors to appreciate that rare diseases are collectively common and to recognise the exceptional challenges faced by patients with rare diseases.

Medics for Rare Disease provides education about the relevance of rare disease to everyday clinical medicine and equips doctors to manage their patients effectively. Their ultimate aim is to speed up the journey to diagnosis and improve the patient experience.
