Making Memories
Donation protected
This page has been created for Ailsa, her partner Dean and their little girl Isabella who is 8 years old.
When Ailsa was just 30, she was given news that would shatter her world and change life as her and her family knew it. After 18 months of symptoms, Ailsa was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND)- a life limiting, terminal, muscle wasting disease, which leaves people locked inside their own body- unable to use their arms or legs, unable to speak, swallow or eventually breathe. There is currently no cure, and life expectancy is just 2-5 years.
Ailsa is now 32, so has been knowingly living with MND for 2 years. Weakness in her legs means that Ailsa now relies on a wheelchair to be able to get around, her arms and hands are also affected, leaving simple every day tasks such as feeding herself very difficult, and Ailsa has noticed that her speech and breathing are also affected now. Sadly the deterioration is speeding up, but despite all of this, Ailsa is an incredibly brave lady, with a truly positive outlook on life. It is her dream to be able to make some happy memories with her family, and so this page has been set up, in the hope of raising enough money so that Ailsa can take her family on holiday whilst she is still able to. Unfortunately, this doesn't come cheap for somebody who requires wheelchair access, so every penny towards her cause, really would be grateful received.
Any money raised will be put towards their family holiday, and any other days out or family trips, that will leave Isabella and Dean with a lifetime of memories- something that MND can never take away from them.
Please spare what you can, and share amongst your family and friends. Every penny really does count, and will all help towards making Ailsa's dreams come true. Please help Ailsa and her family have something to look forward to.
Many thanks,
