Nicola Dances right small for Lyme

Donation protected
I'm in recovery from Chronic Lyme disease. Thanks to years of private treatment from the USA I've gone from being severely incapacitated, with difficulty walking or a total inability to walk, severe fatigue, pain, cognitive dysfuntion and a host of other symptoms, to being pretty much fully functional again and able to look after my two young children once more. I'm doing a three hour Dance-a-thon to raise money for similar treatment for two other UK Lyme patients.

Claire Diss, had been given 2-5 years to live by U.K. doctors. They had told her she was suffering from ALS, a progressive form of Motor Neurone Disease. Claire sensed she wasnt entirely typical for ALS and so had her blood tests for Lyme in Germany. It came back positive. Now Claire is attending the same amazing US doctor that I see. He has had success with similar cases, halting or even reversing the progression of ALS, which has been linked to infection with Lyme. Claire and her husband have a three year old Daughter. The treatment required is very expensive as Claire needs extensive IV antibiotics and other medication in the U.S. Please donate and help Claire see her daugher grow up.

The Huckins family are fundraising to get their two young boys assessed and possibly treated for Lyme which they aquired from their Mother  Adelle, whilst in the womb. Adelle Huckins has suffered from undiagnosed Lyme since being bitten by a tick on a school trip in Germany . She unwittingly passed it onto her three children. Adelle and her daughter Kaitlyn are being treated via a U.S. clinic and they now need to raise the funds to discuss the two boy's test results with their U.S. doctor and possibly get the oldest boy, Josh (13) treated. Josh has a lot of Lyme symptoms including autistic-like behaviours, noise and light sensitivity and problems with his vision. Please help Josh get the help he desperately needs.

Whilst I realise that for most people, three hours of dancing will be a breeze, this is not so for me. I'm still recovering from Lyme and recently experienced some degree of relapse. An hour of sledging with my kids recently resulted in me being unable to walk properly, dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, nausea, weakness and night sweats. Three hours of dancing will be pretty much like running a marathon for me but I'm determined to do this as these fellow U.K. Lyme patients desperately need funds to access expert treatment (which is unfortunately not available on the NHS). If you can spare a few quid, I'd be very grateful. All monies raised will be split 50:50 between the two appeals.
