I am taking part in a tandem 15,000ft skydive for charity to raise awareness and money for vital research in to the symptoms and cause of Meniere's.
My dad, David, suffers with Meniere's Disease. On the 26th December 2003 my dad suffered his first ‘spin’. My mom thought she’d given him food poisoning! Spins give him uncontrollable sickness, dizziness, the inability to walk or move, unbearable pain and discomfort and there is no cure. It can happen anywhere, at anytime and when it does we have to take the bull by the horns and help him to the best of our ability. There is no known cause and no known cure for these ‘spins’'. People do stare and make comments, which is why we’re raising money and awareness about this disease. Doctor's and Scientists need our support in order to help my dad and other sufferers.
