Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>9 years ago I went to hospital to have my fourth child ,luke.unfortunatly I also came home with a viral infection which have&nbsp;crippled me and left me with ME or chronic fatigue syndrome.</p> <p>I used to be a very energetic person doing loads for local church,school and others stuff .suddenly it all stopped.I was housebound for 2 years only really able to go out in a wheelchair on a good day.My laptop was my only connection to the outside world and I wasnt one of the worse with ME .people are left bedbound .It is an awful thing to have and the worse part is the knowing that it cannot be trated and the depression and despair it leaves behind.</p> <p>Unfortunatly we must have&nbsp;lived in a&nbsp;bad &nbsp;area as my husband ,geoff was diagnosed with it 4 years later.</p> <p>This christmas day I have decided with my 18 year old son that im going to swim in the sea at bexhill for&nbsp;action for ME.</p> <p>I am now able to do a full time job and do the stuff&nbsp; I love like act and sing.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
