Life Begins at 40

Why not tick something off your bucket list this year in aid of Behçet’s UK? 

Anything goes, from a daredevil activity, such as a bungee jump, a sponsored run be it a 5k run or a 26 mile marathon to 2023 being the year you set up a book club, a choir or sell your handmade crafts with a share of subs or sales going to Behçet’s UK. 

If you don’t have a bucket list yet there is still plenty of time before the end of the year and here are just a few ideas that you could think of doing.
