Fundraise for us
All those who generously give up their time to support the Psoriasis Association by fundraising and raising awareness play a vital role in helping us to continue with our work.
The Psoriasis Association is the leading national charity working for people with psoriasis and all donations received help to sustain our work in supporting people affected by psoriasis, raising awareness of the condition and funding research projects.
We are reliant on donations to be able to continue with our work so, as you can imagine, the efforts of those who agree to raise funds on our behalf is very much appreciated.
We are truly amazed by people’s efforts and different ways they support us!
Whatever the event, we can provide you with promotional materials, sponsorship forms if required and a t-shirt or running vest. Every pound makes a difference and helps the Psoriasis Association support people with psoriasis, their families and carers.

Evelyn's 50 Mile Cycle
Evelyn, aged 12, was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis in July 2024. Despite being newly diagnosed, and psoriasis affecting her entire body, Evelyn took on the challenge of cycling 50 miles across August to raise awareness about the condition.
Evelyn did a wonderful job and completely smashed her fundraising goal. Her JustGiving page is still live if you'd like to make a donation.
Evelyn's mum, Heidi, is extremely proud of her efforts and put together a few words to describe Evelyn's journey.
"We are all so incredibly proud of Evelyn and what she has achieved. Evelyn is also becoming more confident to talk to people about Psoriasis, telling them all about her challenge and what she's going through. We really hope Evelyn soon finds the right treatment for her skin, as what she is on isn't being effective, so she can continue to be an amazing inspiration to others!" Go Evelyn!
Ceri's Cardiff Half Marathon
Ceri is setting herself the challenge of running the Cardiff Half marathon this October in aid of her daughter Emily.
Emily who is 15, has had psoriasis since the age of 10 and despite all the challenges that come alongside being a teenager, Emily rocks her psoriasis patches with pride!
Emily also deals with the koebner phenomenon, where psoriasis occurs in areas of injury to the skin. Unfortunately, this led to a flare-up when Emily had her ears pierced.
Ceri will be raising funds for the Psoriasis Association and
you can check out her JustGiving
page to make a donation. We'll be cheering you on!

Katie will also be donating all profits from chronic illness and psoriasis-related items available on her online shop to The Psoriasis Association. More details can be found on her Instagram @KaylewCreative.
Support Katie in her challenge by donating via her JustGiving page or keep an eye out for the item launch on her online shop.
Rob’s Strongman Competition
Rob completed The Unit's Strongest (strongman) competition in August 2024, whilst fundraising for The Psoriasis Association along the way. We are super proud of Rob's efforts and he managed to achieve a personal best in 4 out 5 events on the day. Bravo Rob!
Rob has had psoriasis since the age of 21, and in 2020, Rob received a lifechanging diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) despite showing no previous symptoms.
Rob is an avid gym goer and prior to diagnosis, aspired to compete in strongman – he has decided his diagnosis isn’t going to stop him.
Rob gave it his all on the day and here's what he said about his experience:
“I’d like to thank the Psoriasis Association; they are a team of unsung heroes at every level within the charity. I put a lot into this competition - a lot that social media doesn’t show. There’s been over four months of preparation for one day - and it was hard work. There were many times, I wanted to quit and let the overthinking creep in, but the reason I signed up for the event in the first place was to remind myself and others that a diagnosis like PsA is not the end of the road - it’s not an excuse to stop chasing your goals and aspirations no matter what they are.
My biggest realisation, now this is over, is just how wonderful my support network is. There are people that I’m very fortunate to call family and friends who are there for me whatever the hour. There were also people who were extremely generous in their donations, those sending messages of support and others who actually turned up on the day - it’s blown me away. On the day of the competition, I actually achieved personal bests on 4 out of 5 events, meaning I’m stronger now than I was before my diagnosis. I was also able to hit my very ambitious fundraising target. What more could I want? Well, we’ll see what’s next…”
Rob has raised an amazing £1,020 so far. Rob's JustGiving page is still live, if you'd like to make a donation.
