Help Me Be Pain Free

I know you probably know me through Taekwon Do, or as a Personal Trainer, Studio Instructor and running coach. I love sharing my passion for sports with others.  Over the years I have helped thousands of people get fit and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

However I now have days where I struggle to walk.

If you have seen me limping recently - that's a good day.  Some days I am in tremendous pain so I struggle to get around the house.  That's the little secret I've been keeping hidden.

On a bad day I can't get up and down stairs easily.  I cannot walk to the end of the garden without being in pain.  I have to take painkillers that I absolutely despise but I can't get by without them.  I'm a shadow of my former self and I'm so upset with life because of this problem.

The cartilage at the back of both of my kneecaps has worn away leaving exposed bone.  This bone absorbs fluid which is where the pain comes from.  That pain will not let me bend my knees which means daily tasks like putting on socks and shoes, getting in a car or generally getting around are difficult (if not at times impossible).

Surgery has been ruled out by the consultant due to the location of the problem.   The only thing that might help is Stem Cell treatment.  That costs money that I don't have which is why I am reaching out for help.

If you can donate something, just anything to help fund my treatment and get me back helping people I will be truly so so grateful. 

I want to help people enjoy the outdoors, enjoy being fit and living healthy happy lives.  This is the only way to do it so please donate what you can.

Thank you so much.  I'll never know how I can repay you for your help but I will be so grateful for anything you can do.
