Pull a plane for PANS PANDAS UK
Help us this summer
There are so many ways to donate to PANS PANDAS UK!

We appreciate the hard work, dedication and commitment that goes into fundraising for PANS PANDAS UK, and it is important to us that we use your funds responsibly. Every penny that you raise will be used to provide support and information for families affected by PANS or PANDAS. Together, we will raise awareness, campaign for improved access to care and push for better research.

These fantastic examples show the power of our community:

Conquering the seas

Incredible Neil Gilson is tackling ten huge swiss lakes over two years – that’s more than 360km!

Bath Half-marathon

Megan and Tom came together to run the Bath Half Marathon, raising vital funds for PANS PANDAS UK.

LEJOG Cycle Challenge

Seven friends set themselves an incredible goal – to cycle 1,000 miles in nine days!

Our Fundraising Lead, Lynn, is happy to talk through your ideas and help you to support PANS PANDAS UK. Don’t forget to join our fundraising Facebook group for more inspiration! Email lynn.hogarth@panspandasuk.org or click below:
