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

<div class="frp-message-body" style="height: auto;"> <p>In late 2006 I had a serious head injury, which for some reason, (which is being investigated) left me with migraines. These migraines were for a time completely uncontrollable and resulted in me freezing my uni degree for a year. The other complications I had as a result are now sorted. However it is the migraines which are having a long term effect. The Migraine Trust have been awesome for me, providing lots of help and advice and have put me in touch with some doctors that are now making a difference.</p> <p>This is a charity that is very close to my heart giving me a lot of support and thus to give something in return I am running the London Marathon for&nbsp;the&nbsp;third time&nbsp;for them. Please sponsor me, so I can reach my target and help the Migraine Trust. I know times are tough but every little helps towards a managed migraine world.&nbsp;Your donations are very gratefully received.</p> <p>Thank you very much for all your support.</p> <p>Olly</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> </div> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
