Very few of us will not come into contact with the disease at some point in our lives, either ourselves or through a family member or friend. Attached below is the direct link to my Justgiving page. It is a very good way of making a contribution as your payment has 25% Gift Aid added to it automatically if you are a UK Taxpayer. I would be very grateful for any contribution you feel able to make, even just posting your good wishes would be enough and would give me the encouragement to complete this gruelling event. </span></p>
