National Eczema Society

We were SO disappointed for all our supporters expecting to take part in the Great South Run earlier this month. The event organiser cancelled the run at short notice, because of heavy rain and strong winds forecast for Portsmouth that day. Safety comes first of course! We are hugely grateful to everyone who takes on a physical challenge for National Eczema Society, raising much-needed funds and awareness of eczema. You need bags of commitment to train for a race like this, and that’s usually much harder if you have eczema. Big thanks to our supporters including Jemma (pictured), Sal and Ben who decided to run 10 miles anyway - the equivalent distance of the Great South Run – near where they live. You’re amazing! ✨ For more information on our fundraising events visit 👇 https://bit.ly/4hfZIRo #Eczema #EczemaAwareness #GreatSouthRun #Portsmouth
