Every step leads to discovery

I have chosen Arthritis UK for my charity as it is very close to my heart. I myself suffer from Psoriatic Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. I have been fighting this for 15 years.

Fundraising for Arthritis UK is one of the best things I have ever done. The charity means the world to not only myself but to many many other people of all ages, and to be able to join in with charity events makes me feel amazing and very proud.
