Joanna Vaux is taking part in the Bupa Great South Run 2012 on 28th October 2012 with the aim of raising funds for PAPAA:Joanna's story
"Please help me raise lots of money for the PAPAA which is a charity which continues to support those who suffer with psoriasis, a skin condition and psoriatic arthritis which can be the result of having the skin condition. This charity provides traditional patient support as well as new innovative approaches.
I have Psoriasis and have done from an early age. When I was 17 I went into hospital with painful, large, swollen knees and toe joints to find I had Psoriatic Arthritis. At the time, I thought my chances of walking properly again were slim as I depended on a wheelchair. After prayer and ongoing medication It wasn’t long before I was able to walk independently and even run! 5 years later I want to support a charity which go out there way to support those like me, the literature they write is very supportive and helped me lots to understand what I had! There are lots of people who suffer very badly with Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis, who depend on the support from this charity and that’s why I want to support them by running 10 miles at the Great South Run in October!
If you could help me to donate a total of £300 that would be amazing... THANK YOU J"
