Fundraise for us

George is stepping into the ring and competing in the Ultra White Collar Boxing, taking place on Saturday 23rd November.

The event is open to all abilities and George, who is new to boxing, signed up for the event after successfully completing the viral ‘75 Hard’ challenge, which has greatly improved his lifestyle and wellbeing.

George is fundraising for The Psoriasis Association in loving memory of his nanny, Enid, who had severe psoriasis and passed away peacefully in June 2024.

We would like to thank George for his fundraising efforts and wish him the best on the night! You can read his full story and donate to George’s JustGiving page here.

Katie is challenging herself to walk at least 3km every day, whatever the weather, to raise funds for The Psoriasis Association, with the hope of completing a race later in the year.

In 2019, Katie noticed early signs of psoriasis and a year later she was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis after developing pain and stiffness in her hand.

Katie will also be donating all profits from chronic illness and psoriasis-related items available on her online shop to The Psoriasis Association. More details can be found on her Instagram @KaylewCreative.

Support Katie in her challenge by donating via her JustGiving page or keep an eye out for the item launch on her online shop.

The Lloyds Pharmacy Clinical Homecare team hosted two awareness days during Psoriasis Awareness week which involved a psoriasis presentation, an engaging patient video and a general knowledge quiz, and some fun games to raise funds for the Psoriasis Association.

Check out the LPCH fundraiser for The Psoriasis Association, if you wish to donate.

Ceri set herself the challenge of running the Cardiff Half marathon this October in aid of her daughter Emily.

Emily who is 15, has had psoriasis since the age of 10 and despite all the challenges that come alongside being a teenager, Emily rocks her psoriasis patches with pride!

Emily also deals with the koebner phenomenon, where psoriasis occurs in areas of injury to the skin. Unfortunately, this led to a flare-up when Emily had her ears pierced.

Ceri's JustGiving page is still live, if you'd like to make a donation. Congratulations - we are extremely appreciative of your efforts!

John decided to push himself and completed the Manchester Half Marathon this October at the age of 51.

Newbie runners, Allegra and Tegan challenged themselves to complete the Robin Hood half marathon on the 29th of September, in aid of The Psoriasis Association. Unfortunately, Tegan picked up a knee injury, so another runner competed the race on her behalf.

Allegra developed psoriasis in 2020, and Tegan has been by her side to witness the variety of treatments she has tried, including those which impact the immune system.

Rob completed The Unit's Strongest (strongman) competition in August 2024, whilst fundraising for The Psoriasis Association along the way. We are super proud of Rob's efforts and he managed to achieve a personal best in 4 out 5 events on the day. Bravo Rob!

Rob has had psoriasis since the age of 21, and in 2020, Rob received a lifechanging diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) despite showing no previous symptoms.

Rob is an avid gym goer and prior to diagnosis, aspired to compete in strongman – he has decided his diagnosis isn’t going to stop him.

Rob gave it his all on the day and here's what he said about his experience:

“I’d like to thank the Psoriasis Association; they are a team of unsung heroes at every level within the charity. I put a lot into this competition - a lot that social media doesn’t show. There’s been over four months of preparation for one day - and it was hard work. There were many times, I wanted to quit and let the overthinking creep in, but the reason I signed up for the event in the first place was to remind myself and others that a diagnosis like PsA is not the end of the road - it’s not an excuse to stop chasing your goals and aspirations no matter what they are.

My biggest realisation, now this is over, is just how wonderful my support network is. There are people that I’m very fortunate to call family and friends who are there for me whatever the hour. There were also people who were extremely generous in their donations, those sending messages of support and others who actually turned up on the day - it’s blown me away. On the day of the competition, I actually achieved personal bests on 4 out of 5 events, meaning I’m stronger now than I was before my diagnosis. I was also able to hit my very ambitious fundraising target. What more could I want? Well, we’ll see what’s next…”

Rob has raised an amazing £1,020. A huge thank you to Rob and a massive well done!

Evelyn, aged 12, was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis in July 2024. Despite being newly diagnosed, and psoriasis affecting her entire body, Evelyn took on the challenge of cycling 50 miles across August to raise awareness about the condition.

Evelyn's mum, Heidi, is extremely proud of her efforts and put together a few words to describe Evelyn's journey.

"We are all so incredibly proud of Evelyn and what she has achieved. Evelyn is also becoming more confident to talk to people about Psoriasis, telling them all about her challenge and what she's going through. We really hope Evelyn soon finds the right treatment for her skin, as what she is on isn't being effective, so she can continue to be an amazing inspiration to others!"

Evelyn did a wonderful job and completely smashed her fundraising goal, raising a fantastic £700! A huge thanks from The Psoriasis Association.
