CHARITY

'Tim raised thousands of pounds for us competing in the London Duathlon in memory of his late mother. We thank Tim for his efforts, we're sure his Mum would have been proud.'

 

LUPUS UK is the only national registered charity supporting people with systemic lupus and discoid lupus and assisting those approaching diagnosis. We presently have over 5500 Members and a number of Regional Groups around the UK who arrange medical talks, publish local newsletters, set up local occasions and organise fundraising events. 
 

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system is dysfunctional and mistakenly identifies the body’s own tissues as foreign invaders. In people with lupus, the immune system creates autoantibodies to attack the body’s tissues. These form immune complexes which cause inflammation and damage – possibly affecting the organs and/or the joints in some lupus patients. Lupus disproportionately affects females and people from Black African, Caribbean, and Asian ancestries.

More recently Tim has been helping Snow Camp - Snowsports Youth Charity in their efforts to turn young under-privileged lives around through the power of snowsports. 

 

Snow Camp's vision is that snowsports be available to all and for young people to achieve their full potential through positive opportunities.
