Can You Help?

Up to 1 in 3 of our children and 1 in 12 adults have eczema. The society provides information and support, funds research into treatments and possible cures and works to dispel myths so those who have eczema need not feel stigmatised, guilty or isolated. As part of National Eczema Week, the society Chief Executive, Margaret Cox, will be attending board meetings, AGM’s and just going to work in her PJ’s! If you feel able to sponsor this brave lady please goto http://www.justgiving.com/PJs4eczema. To find out more about National Eczema Week, goto http://www.eczema.org/NEW07.htm.

Take up the Challenge to support the National Eczema Society

Taking part in an overseas event to raise money is an exciting and challenging way of supporting the National Eczema Society. Challenges can include walking, running, cycling, horse (or even camel) riding in distant countries including China, Mexico, Cuba and India. You don't have to be super fit to take part but the challenges are physically challenging. Training and fitness is a must. But, this is not a race - the aim is for you to complete the challenge at your own pace. Whilst there will be people of differing levels of fitness on the trek you will find that there is a great sense of team spirit and support for everyone to complete the challenge. People from all walks of life and of all ages take part in challenge events. From 18 onwards, everyone is welcome as long as you are fit and healthy enough to do the challenge.
