Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running the Yorkshire Marathon on the 8th of October and would like to raise money for The Dystonia Society, a condition which my brother DK has lived with for 30+ years.

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder. Faulty signals from the brain cause muscles to spasm and pull on the body incorrectly and forces the body into twisting, repetitive movements or abnormal postures. It is estimated to affect at least 70,000 people in the UK and unfortunately there is not yet a cure.
