All – Committee member Jacqui Trotter received this kind email from charity Arthritis Research UK, following on a from a talk by sailing adventurer Sarah Outen at the London branch.  After being entertained so well, the audience contributed to an ad-hoc collection that has been well received by Arthritis Research UK 🙂

Dear Miss Trotter,

On behalf of everyone here at Arthritis Research UK, thank you again for your very generous donation of £165.00. Your support is so valuable to us as it means we can continue to fund the vital research that’s needed to take away the pain and distress of arthritis.

It is very kind of the members of The Globetrotters Club to choose to support our cause following a talk given by Sarah Outen who did a sponsored event in our favour, we greatly appreciate this generosity.

Your gifts are helping to fund research to stop the pain of arthritis and hopefully prevent future generations being affected by this devastating condition.

Our pioneering research is helping to identify the genetic factors that lead to conditions such as osteoarthritis, which affects over 6 million people in the UK alone. Your gifts are also helping our top scientists to look at how taking supplements, like vitamin D, could stop the progression of life-changing conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.

If you want to find out even more about arthritis and what can be done to ease the pain, please visit our website www.arthritisresearchuk.org.  If you suffer from arthritis yourself, you can share your experiences with others.  And you’ll find a wealth of useful information about our research projects, different types of arthritis and much more.

Many thanks once again from all of us here at Arthritis Research UK for your kind donation.

Best wishes

Joanne Unwin
