Story

We are looking to raise as much money as possible for PSC support who are the only UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by the rare, autoimmune liver disease, Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). PSC has no cure or medical treatment and donating to my fundraising page means you are helping PSC Support to provide much-needed support and information to people affected by PSC.

In January 2022 after over a year of many tests and scans our team captain Olly Buck was unfortunately diagnosed with PSC which is a rare, immune mediated liver disease that progressively affects and causes damage to the bile ducts and in turn the liver. For some people, a liver transplant is needed and in fact, 10%–15% of all liver transplants in Europe are now for PSC.

PSC Support is an amazing charity that provides high quality education and support through information days and online services, and advocates for the needs of people affected by PSC in policy development and clinical services.

PSC Support is working tirelessly to find a cure or treatment for PSC and they directly fund and commission specific PSC research. Olly is already doing his bit to contribute to the research field having recently participated in a medical trial for a possible new treatment.

We are keen to help Olly give something back to PSC Support and help contribute towards their amazing work in seeking to find effective treatments, and one day hopefully, a cure. As such we are in the process of training to complete the 24 hour National Three Peaks challenge on Saturday 15th July 2023 with five buddies which involves climbing Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales all within.....yep, you guessed it..... 24 hours.

Any donation you can spare will be hugely appreciated and critically, you'll be helping PSC Support to fund and drive groundbreaking PSC research, taking us closer and closer to a cure. Every penny counts. Thank you. #LetsBeatPSC
