Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. After three years most of which I have spent in and out of hospital , having been diagnosed with auto immune deficiency along the way such as sjrogren syndrome and sarcoidosis I have also been diagnosed with Addison's disease  

My 13 year old daughter wants to raise awareness so that "other people can see how it effects your life mum" ! They were her exact words ! 

We thought about a cake sale as everyone loves cake , I work as a civil servant and only because of the support I have been shown by my employer have I been able to carry on working, adapting my role so that I can work from home  they have kindly said that Grace can come into work on wed 26th of October to sell her cakes  

Grace would like the money raised to go to the charity to help people to understand hidden disabilities and how being diagnosed can change lives  

there have been some awful moments that we have gone through over the last three years , but I am lucky , I have the most loving family ever and I am surrounded by fabulous friends and colleagues who never let me become 'invisible ' 

We are hoping to raise awareness by holding our cake sale , thank you for taking the time to read this  , I really don't want to talk about the negatives, and how bad it can be because if something so lovely can come out of my diagnosis, well it can't all be bad  

Grace is a lovely caring and beautiful person , I am very blessed to be her mum and also so proud of her for doing this ❤️
