Hello

from Emphasis Summer 2023

Andfinally... Get involved with Emphasis! This is your magazine

Thisissue is packed with news of kind souls who have chosen to support our charity through fundraising. From running and cycling the length of the UK, to knitting sales and sponsored skips, we’re constantly amazed by the efforts that people make.

We’ve included as many fundraising stories as we can in this issue, and there’s plenty more going on over the summer months too. In fact, as I write, 50 employees from a company in London are preparing to walk a marathon around the capital in support of a colleague’s wife with PH.

We get no government funding, so acts of kindness like this enable us to continue our work – and we are truly grateful to everyone.

Aside from fundraising, there are many other ways to support us too, and taking part in our research activities is one of the most important.

I’d like to say a personal thank you to everyone who has taken the time to complete the two important surveys we have distributed over the last few months.

At the time of going to print, What does it mean to live with PH today? and Understanding more about PH and nutrition have been completed by over 1,400 people combined.

The value of your voices cannot be underestimated, and we look forward to bringing you the findings - and details of the difference they will make - very soon.
