Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. After more than three years of uncertainty I was diagnosed in May 2011 with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a progressive neurological disorder in which degeneration (or atrophy) of nerve cells in several (or multiple) areas of the brain can result in problems with movement, balance and automatic functions of the body such as blood pressure control.  There is no known cure for this condition, nor known way to halt it's progress and there is no definititive test (apart from by pathology).  The MSA Trust are doing so much to help support those affected by this condition, and, more importantly, researching it's cause and treatment. Setting up this page to raise funds for the MSA Trust seems something positive I can do, with your help, in this negative situation. Click on the link on the left of this page to find out more about MSA and the work of the Trust. I've been really touched and surprised by everybody's kindness and generosity in helping to raise money for the MSA Trust.  My original target of £1,000 was reached in just 2 weeks, my second target of £2,000 is also achieved so I've increased that amount to £2,500.  Thanks in advance if you feel you can help me to achieve this. To help support this worthwhile cause, you may donate through JustGiving; it's simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.  Or you can donate by texting WUCR70 £10 to 70070.  Thank you for your support.              Love from                                                     Cathy x
