In 2020, Jennifer George was diagnosed with Axial Spondylarthritis, just as the UK
entered lockdown.
At a time when treatment was critical, access was delayed. Her active lifestyle quickly became out of reach, replaced by physical challenges, isolation, and uncertainty.
From Diagnosis to Determination
Axial Spondylarthritis is a long-term inflammatory condition that can significantly impact mobility and quality of life.
For Jennifer, the early stages of her diagnosis were particularly difficult:
Delayed access to treatment
Reduced mobility and physical activity
Isolation during lockdown
Uncertainty about recovery
What followed, however, is what makes this story remarkable.
Rebuilding Strength and Confidence
With the support of Versus Arthritis, Jennifer began to rebuild.
Step by step, she regained both physical strength and confidence.
Five years on, her progress speaks for itself:
Completed two triathlons
Participated in multiple running events
Preparing for the London Marathon

Supporting others facing similar challenges
Funding vital work through Versus Arthritis
