    Story

    Thank you for opening my page. Please take a moment to read my story.

    I have been fortunate enough to have stem cell treatments which has helped me massively, my shakes stopped, speech became clearer, I had no choking when eating, I became much stronger and my balance improved greatly. The Doctor in Panama explained that due to the severity of my illness, I will need several courses of treatment to maximise the benefits. I was due to return for more stem cells in July 2020, however due to the Covid-19 Pandemic I have been unable to fundraise which is frustrating because I had some exciting events planned for this year. I can feel the stem cells are running low, my symptoms are returning gradually, this is why I am asking for your help again, I am hoping to raise the funds so that as soon as the clinic reopens and I can travel again then I can go back for more treatment ASAP.

    I was diagnosed at 30 and 6 years on I can only walk short distances with a wheelie walker due to my worsening condition. MS causes the immune system to attack the nervous system causing the debilitating symptoms such as poor balance, sight & speech issues, choking, shaking and weakness of my legs and arms. Dietary changes, holistic treatments and supplements have made little positive difference to my symptoms. I have been forced to reduce my working hours and have become increasingly house-bound.

    Successful stem cell trials are being carried out at Cambridge University. But given the speed at which my health is declining potentially leaving me wheelchair bound I have no time to wait for their availability.

    The fight is becoming ever more exhausting but I will not be defeated. I will be eternally thankful for any support of my cause. This treatment will make such an improvement to my life, I know this because I have seen it with my own eyes and many others have commented on the improvements too, which has given me so much hope.

    Thanks for reading!
