My Story

I am raising money for SmellTaste, a charity which helps people with smell and taste disorders.

I am recovering from parosmia, a condition which distorts smell and taste. For me, that meant almost all food tasted like a mix of sewage and decay. At it's worst, it's an almost unbearable disorder which makes eating very hard and isolates you from friends and family. I have nearly recovered after about a year but I know many, many people are still suffering after years — with little help or support.

People often take their senses of smell and taste for granted but when they disappear or become distorted, it can have far-reaching impacts on their lives — deeply affecting health and wellbeing.

SmellTaste is a charity that advocates for those who suffer from these invisible, overlooked and underfunded conditions — supporting research into treatment and raising awareness. 

I would be so grateful if you could help me raise money for SmellTaste to support people still suffering and advance the currently scant research into how to treat these conditions and improve people's lives. Thank you so much!
