Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My Father-In-Law, Dave Jones, was one of the strongest and most amazing people I have met. All his life he had suffered with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) with the last decade being reduced to a chair and no weight baring on either leg. He was a proud man, never complained and just got on with things, stubborn and determined. 

Sadly, Dave lost his life just before christmas and to this day, had very little understanding of his condition. My aim is to raise awareness of his condition and other rare conditions like it, where children and adults are affected by similar symptoms. 

Please help me raise vital awareness and funds for this incredible cause. Help others have the life they dreamed of and what some take for granted. Every little helps!
