Story

Any donation will be welcome to help towards the grand total over the year.
Please read Kim's journey and the reason for the fund raising.
Thank You.

For a few months in 2016/17 my wife had been suffering from severe migraine and headaches and after several visits to the doctors, she had finally been referred to the hospital to have scans to find a reason.
This is where Kim had been diagnosed with having a Pineal Cyst on the Internal section of her brain.
Kim is currently under constant care of a Neurologist and an Endocronologist at Southmead Hospital.
Kim suffers on a daily basis with:
Constant fatigue.
Unbearable headaches that leaves her having to go to bed screaming in pain.
Bladder issues.
Episodes of loss of awareness.
Confusion/brain fog/forgetfulness.
Tinnitus.
Hormone and thyroid issues
To name a few.
It's such a battle, as a cyst on the brain isn't something we can just overlook yet that seems to be the way at the moment.
She's lucky that Kim's GP is very supportive and does her best to help manage her symptoms but it's no fun.
Sadly the NHS does not acknowledge symptomatic Pineal Cysts as other countries do. This leaves sufferers with awful symptoms and no offer of the much needed surgery to help them.
Our first choice is to try and get private treatment in the UK but if that isnt possible then other countries offer surgery to remove the cysts at a cost of around £30,000 in Germany which is where others have had the operation.
Any money raised will go towards consultations, treatment and additional costs.
I can not only help myself to care for Kim but to also raise money towards the costs of the surgery to help Kim.

Kim has always put other people first and has never thought to help herself, so I am now doing this for her.
Kim is an amazing Mum to 2 gorgeous girls Georgina and Gracie and is an amazing Wife to me and has always held our family together through all the hard times.

She is my Rock, My Best Friend and The Love of My Life.
