Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As most of you know my gorgeous neice Ellie who is 5 has Congenital Myasthenia Gravis,sometimes known as the Rag Doll disease. This not only affects her ability to walk,run and play at times but also means she has a tracheostomy in order to help with life support and resusitation when she has breathing difficulties which have led to cardiac arrests in the past.....we didnt think she would reach this age!

Ellie is a happy and loving child who loves nothing more than singing to Hannah Montana! Tracey and I ran the GNR last year with my brother in law Mark. It was our first time and we raised over £800...we would like to raise more. MGA is a very small charity and donations really hep to fund research into MG...we may not get a cure for Ellie but we may get a cure for other children like her.

Please give what you can and support me in my big challenge!!
