Hello Everyone. My name is Joel Mays and I will be raising money for Backcare UK. Running has been a big part of my life for the past two years. In that two years I have run three world majors and London would be number four. With your support I can accomplish this goal and run with this great organization. Thank you in advance. See you out there.
Back pain is one of the most common conditions that people live with. The vast majority of us are likely to be affected by back pain at some point in our lives. For most it will be a short-lived experience but for others back pain is ongoing and affects quality of life, making ordinary daily tasks difficult or at worst simply impossible to perform. Chronic back pain can result in depression, low self esteem, unemployment, the breakdown of relationships and more.
BackCare provides information and education to prevent back injury from occurring in the first place and also assists with research projects trying to identify the reasons for chronic low back pain. However, whilst prevention is better than cure, BackCare also understands that not all back pain is avoidable. BackCare too provides practical and emotional support to people living with back pain whether caused through wear and tear, injury, musculoskeletal disorders such as Scoliosis, Spina Bifida, Arthritis and Axial SpA or other serious underlying health conditions like Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, or Cancer, for example. Further information about BackCare's work can be found at www.backcare.org.uk
