Sarah was diagnosed with Addison’s Disease in 1994, while living in the USA. When she returned to the UK in 1995 she joined the ADSHG.

Sarah was diagnosed with Addison’s Disease in 1994, while living in the USA. When she returned to the UK in 1995, she joined ADSHG and, during 1996/7, undertook a survey of members to try and establish the scope for finetuning the treatment of the disease. This triggered interest and support from the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford and led to the publication of the “Living with Addison’s Disease” manual, which she co-wrote with Katherine White.

Sarah has two teenage children and works part time from home as a freelance writer/editor. Previously, she worked in advertising as an account handler for some of London’s top agencies.

She tries to lead a reasonably active lifestyle and feels fortunate that she is able to do so, despite having Addison’s. In 2002, she walked the Cotswold Way and has since embarked on another long distance walk – the Cotswold and Mendip stretch of the Monarch’s Way, from Stratford Upon Avon to Lyme Regis.
