Zoe Birkett was recently interviewed on the Jeremy Vine show talking about her experience of having a hip replacement at a younger age.

On Sunday, Stefan ran the East Coast 10K in less-than-perfect weather conditions. Stefan told us "The race started cold, wet, and windy! It dried up about 50% of the way through." Stefan has raised an incredible £600 towards our vital work. Thank you Stefan!

I got very lucky and have a place for next year's London Marathon. I'm hoping, as part of that, to raise some money for @jarproject.bsky.social who help children, like my son, that have arthritis. If you'd like to donate 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/phil-wills is the place
Phil does the London Marathon
One of my sons has Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). He's now doing well, but at it's worst he was in too much pain to go to school and for a long time was unable to join in games with his friends
