About SCOLIOSIS SUPPORT & RESEARCH FUNDRAISING STORIES
What is Scoliosis? Scoliosis is the abnormal twisting and curvature of the spine and can affect people of any age, from babies to adults. Having scoliosis means that a person’s spine curves to the side. The spine can sometimes twist at the same time and as a result, this twisting can pull the ribcage out of position. Living with scoliosis can be challenging and sometimes painful and it is important that a person with scoliosis sees a scoliosis specialist. We can put you in touch with scoliosis specialists in your area.
Scoliosis Support & Research is a charity that promotes and funds innovative research to improve treatment options for patients and we offer guidance and support to individuals and families affected by scoliosis. We also fundraise to ensure our work can continue long into the future. We educate so the medical facts are understood, and we connect people living with scoliosis.
We would love to welcome you as a fundraiser. Here you can listen to inspiring podcasts from some of our current amazing fundraisers!

STEPHEN, ONE OF OUR LONDON MARATHON 2025 RUNNERS HAS SOME GREAT TIPS
Stephen Johnson from southwest London is a keen runner and is taking on the London Marathon for Scoliosis Support & Research. His first marathon was in Barcelona, an experience that gave him plenty to think about. Losing seven toenails taught him so much about looking after his feet during a marathon and he shares this and many other stories on the first of three podcast episodes on his way to the finish in April.
