I am walking 5k a day to raise money and awareness for Addison's Dissease. Addison's disease is a rare disease that affects about 1 in 14,000 people and there are roughly 9,000 people with Addison's disease in the UK, and around 320 new cases are diagnosed each year.

My partner was diagnosed with Addison's last year and living with a chronic illness has completley changed his life.

At the Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG) they support everyone affected by Addison’s disease and adrenal insufficiency.

They work to:

- support our community and their healthcare providers

- enhance better medical understanding

- promote effective management

- fund vital research

Thanks to fundraising they can continue their vital work. Every penny and pound raised can make a big difference to such a small charity!
