Ailsa Bosworth NRAS Founder & CEO Awarded MBE in New Year's Honours

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-b...

In 2001 Ailsa launched a brand new patient organisation offering support for those living with RA and campaign for improved care and access to treatments. Who knew that 15 years later her amazing fortitude, passion and commitment to the cause, despite suffering so badly from RA herself, would be recognised in such a public way. Congratulations to Ailsa from all at NRAS. We are all so very proud to work for such a remarkable organisation and yours and others like you living with RA inspire all of us to continue to fly the flag and be the voice of those with RA in the UK.

Congratulations, well deserved. Thank you for all the work you and your team do, I know when I discovered NRAS in 2008 via my GP, at the time it was like finding a friend, who has certainly helped me through some difficult times.

Such a wonderful person <3 !! I am overwhelmed by this woman offering support to people who stuggle with RA. We all need to love and support eachother with this disease. This wonderful woman had the knowledge to reach out to the UK offering her love and supportI I just hope she realizes that she has helped sooo many people from other countries. Her dream of people helping people has made a big difference in my life.
