HELP ME AND MY MND

In June 2021, at the age of 36, I was diagnosed with a horrific condition called Motor Neurones Disease.

 

Once a keen runner, I completed a number of half marathons while raising money for the Motor Neurons Disease Association, I would have never thought I would now suffer from this debilitating disease.

 

What started life as an innocent twitch in my arm has now slowly progressed into twitching in most of my upper body and now little to no strength in my arms and hands.

The progressive nature of this disease will eventually lead to me having no muscle strength and even the ability to swallow and, last of all, to breathe.

 

With no cure and little to no treatment available to help me, I have no choice but to research and find alternative medications to try and help slow down my progression, but as you can imagine, these come at a considerable cost. Still, I’m willing to try anything to help alleviate and prolong my life as much as I can with Carly, my wife and my three beautiful young children, Harry, George & Rosie.

 

On top of everything, after finding a job and career I love as a Barber, I have had to make the hard decision to stop working due to my weakening body I struggle with daily.

It is why I reluctantly ask for any help to make our lives a little bit easier as this awful disease continues to progress.

 

Any donations would be gratefully received and put to good use to help improve mine and my

family's quality of life.

 

Thank you so much for reading and for any donations made.
