Fundraising for Dystonia UK
Story
I had a dream....
Walking, climbing, running, cycling, swimming...for you mummy and for all the people suffering from Dystonia.
So today, I want to share with you the beginning of this "merveilleuse" adventure.
Anthony and I have decided to climb 3 peaks (Scotland-Ben Nevis at 1,343m, England-Scafell Pike at 978m and last but not least Wales-Snowdon at 1,085m)!! The 3 peaks challenge is to climb the 3 highest peaks in the UK in a 24 hour period! Needless to say that our training has already started as the event is taking place from 2 to 4 July 2010.
As most of you will remember, mummy had been suffering from Dystonia for at least 15 years of her life. Dystonia is a common neurological movement disorder characterised by sustained and involuntary muscle contractions or muscle spasms.
We would be extremely grateful if you could support the Dystonia charity through our sport adventure. If you would like to have some more information go to http://www.dystonia.org.uk/AboutDystonia/
I have attached a few photos and a video of mummy's favourite song.
Merci de tout mon coeur pour votre aide.
Ma douce, mon hirondelle
Va t'en loin, va t'en sereine
Qu'ici rien ne te retienne
Rejoins le ciel et l'ether
Laisse-nous laisse la terre
Quitte manteau de misere
Change d'univers
Vole vole petite soeur
Vole mon ange, ma douleur
Quitte ton corps et nous laisse
Qu'enfin ta souffrance cesse
Va rejoindre l'autre rive
Celle des fleurs et des rires
Celle que tu voulais tant
Ta vie d'enfant
Vole vole mon amour
Puisque le notre est trop lourd
Puisque rien ne te soulage
Vole a ton dernier voyage
Lache tes heures epuisees
Vole, tu l'as pas vole
Deviens souffle, sois colombe
Pour t'envoler
Vole, vole petite flamme
Vole mon ange, mon amour
Quitte ta peau de misere
Va retrouver la lumiere
