My story

 
On Sunday 20th September myself, my wife and my brother-in-law completed the Great North Run, a half Marathon (13.1 miles).My time was 2 hours, 27 minutes and 16 seconds! We are running for charities very close to our hearts that benefit my 2 year old nephew Isaac.  I am running in aid of the British Trust for the Myelin Project as Isaac suffers from this rare condition which affects the white matter that everyone has within their brain to develop.  At the age of two Isaac does not walk or talk and cannot do the simple things we all take for granted when our children are young.

Also from the age of 6 months Isaac has suffered from a rare form of Epilepsy which has caused him to have hundreds of seizures that are now kept under control with a concoction of medication that he takes several times a day.  Due to his age his medication has to be reviewed and changed on a regular basis.

Isaac is a fantastic little boy who is always so brave despite numerous stays in hospital and the continuing monitoring and tests that are required.

The Myelin Project is a small unknown charity that funds research to find treatments, therapys and hopefully a cure for this disease.  The project needs all the funds it can to help those affected by this condition and as Isaac is so young any developments may well be of benefit to him in the future.
