About this Publication
Addison's Disease Self Help Group newsletter, issue 107, March 2012
Welcome to the spring 2012 newsletter. We hope that some of you have made new year resolutions to improve your fitness and take up running. This is because the ADSHG has purchased 5 charity places in the 2012 Great South Run, taking place in Portsmouth on 28 October. As Ian explains on page 13, this is a flat 10 mile course that should suit the determined novice. If you are willing to do some fundraising on our behalf – and show the world what people with Addison’s can achieve – we would love to hear from you. On page 12, Professor Simon Pearce tells us how he achieved a similar goal in 2011, when he completed the Great North Run for the first time.
