An all-female cycling team, organised by Nat Bowbrick, took on the Chase the Sun South challenge to raise funds for PAPAA.
Together, the team rode 215 km in warm conditions over demanding terrain. Although they did not complete the full 330 km route, they achieved more than they thought possible through teamwork, determination and mutual support.
For one rider living with psoriatic arthritis, this endurance event felt especially meaningful. Psoriatic arthritis can cause pain, fatigue and flares, and there have been times when long-distance cycling seemed out of reach. Supporting PAPAA gave each training ride and every kilometre on the day a clear sense of purpose.
More than £1,200 has been raised for PAPAA, and the rider shared her thanks to everyone who donated, encouraged and supported her. Completing the ride without a significant psoriatic arthritis flare during or immediately after the event was a personal highlight and a major achievement.
At PAPAA we solute the effort and thank all who took part and donated so generously to support our work.
