Story

I am running the full 100km Jurassic Coast Challenge 2019. 

I am raising money for both the Addisons Disease Self Help Group and the Royal Signals Benevolent Fund. 

I was recently diagnosed with Addisons disease which is a rare endocrine condition that means I cannot produce stress hormones. While treatable, left untreated it is fatal. As a rare condition, many people have never heard of it and I wanted to raise awareness.

I also wanted to prove that while I have this condition and am steroid dependant for the rest of my life, anything is possible.

As a serving Royal Signals soldier, I'd also like to take this opportunity to raise some money for the RSBF. A charity set up to help serving or retired soldiers, or their families in times of need.

Hopefully you can spare some small change and help make a difference.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
