Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I'm competing in the AXLR8 Triathlon - http://www.axlr8.co.uk/triathlon/entrants.htm on June 14th to raise money for STARS, a charity which offers support to adults & children with Reflex Anoxic Seizures, a condition I suffered with up until recently.
Reflex Anoxic Seizures. occur mainly in young children but can occur at any age. Any unexpected stimulus, such as pain, shock, fright, causes the heart and breathing to stop, the eyes to roll up into the head, the complexion to become deathly white/grey, often blue around the mouth and under the eyes, the jaw to clench and the body to stiffen, sometimes the arms and legs jerk. After 30 seconds or so, the body relaxes, the heart and breathing resume and the person is unconscious. One or two minutes later the person may regain consciousness but can remain unconscious for well over an hour. Upon recovery the person may be very emotional and then fall into a deep sleep for two to three hours and looks extremely pale. RAS attacks may occur several times per day/ week/ month.
Unfortunately, because of the symptoms, it is known that RAS is often mis-diagnosed as temper tantrums, breath holding or as epilepsy. It is, therefore, one of the aims of the Group to bring about both professional and public awareness of RAS.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Syncope Trust And Reflex Anoxic Seizures gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
