Migraine is the most common and disabling neurological disorder in the UK, which affects 1 in 7 people. The Migraine Trust is the only research and support charity for people affected by migraine in the UK. We fund and promote research, provide support and information, and campaign for change.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you will be well aware I am one of the many sufferers of Migraines and have been since the very young age of 7. I therefore wish to raise money for the Migraine Trust as they have helped me to understand and control my migraines over the last 14 years and as a result in me going to the clinic they have become less frequent and less severe.

The World Health Organisation ranks migraines as one of the top 20 disabilites with 90,000 people a day missing either work or school due to an attack. There are some people who wake up every day at a certain time have the attack and carry on with their day.

For those of you who are fortunate enough to have never suffered from a migraine my description of an attack is as follows. To understand the sheer pain of these attacks imagine pushing on your eyes and that pain times by 10 and that continuing for 5 hours or even more or less depending. Along with the sheer pain is no vision, nausea and your head feeling as though it is going to explode with a constant pulsating head.

I wish for the money that I raise to help the migraine trust to get ever closer to curing and understanding this disability because as of yet this hasn't been accomplished so with your generosity and support you can help the ratio of 1 in 5 people being a sufferer of migraines drop and for many sufferers to get their life back.

Thank you so much for taking your time to read this and your generosity is hugely appreciated.

Love,

Becky x
