John Tett is raising money for Amyloidosis UK<\/strong><\/p>

Our Dad, John, has always been the pillar of our family. Recently, at 76 years old, he was diagnosed with Amyloidosis.<\/p>

Many people have never heard of this condition, and that is exactly why we are here. Amyloidosis occurs when abnormal proteins build up in the body\u2019s organs, affecting their ability to function. It is a \"hidden\" illness\u2014often misdiagnosed or caught too late because its symptoms, like extreme fatigue and sleeplessness, can be mistaken for other things.<\/p>

Dad isn't just walking for himself; he\u2019s walking so that others might get a diagnosis sooner.<\/p>

The Kickoff: John\u2019s First-Ever Parkrun<\/p>

To launch this mission with the energy it deserves, John is doing something he has never done before. On 2nd May at the age of 76, he will be completing his first-ever 5k Parkrun at West Park, Wolverhampton.<\/p>

This isn't just a walk in the park; it\u2019s the official start of a grueling three-month journey. We\u2019ll be there as a family to cheer him across his first finish line.<\/p>

The Challenge: 400km in 90 Days<\/p>

The Parkrun is just the beginning. Over the next 3 months, Dad has committed to walking a total of 400 kilometers (approx. 250 miles).<\/p>

He needs to average 35km every single week. For a man of 76 managing the daily toll and sleepless nights of Amyloidosis, this is a monumental task. Every kilometer he logs is a conversation started about this rare disease.<\/p>

Our Goal: Awareness First<\/p>

While we are raising funds for research and support, our primary mission is visibility.<\/p>

\u2022 We want people to recognize the name Amyloidosis.<\/p>

\u2022 We want to support the research that leads to earlier detection.<\/p>

\u2022 We want to prove that a diagnosis doesn't mean standing still.<\/p>

How You Can Help<\/p>

You don't just have to donate to make a difference. You can help us raise awareness by:<\/p>

1. Sharing this page: Help us reach people who may never have heard of Amyloidosis.<\/p>

2. Following the journey: We will be posting regular updates and photos as Dad hits his milestones.<\/p>

3. Donating: If you can, every penny goes toward vital research and patient support.<\/p>

Every step John takes is a step toward bringing Amyloidosis out of the shadows. Thank you for standing\u2014and walking\u2014with him.<\/p>

With love and determination,<\/p>

Pam, his children, their partners, and all of his grandchildren.<\/p>","brand":null,"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"John Tett is raising money for Amyloidosis UK Our Dad, John, has always been the pillar of our family.
