Story
My name is Martin and I have been an MS sufferer for 12 years. Two years ago I suffered a relapse which has left me wheelchair bound and needing daily support.
Recently I have become aware of a revolutionary treatment HSCT.
This is not available on the NHS and having researched this I have found a clinic in Mexico that will offer me this treatment.
I have booked to go to Mexico to start treatment on the 17 July 2017 and need to raise around £12,000 for travel expenses and living costs whilst I am there.
The whole of the treatment is about £60,000 and we have raised £48,000 ourselves from our house so we are short of £12,000 but any donation you can make would be gratefully appreciated.
This treatment will not cure me but should stop my disease getting worse.
It means I will be able to continue my life as a wheelchair user but still be able to do daily tasks without too much support from others.
Thank you all for reading this and your kind generosity

7 years agoQuick update - Trip all booked now, Jo and I are flying out to Mexico on the 16th June and my treatment starts on 19th June. A huge Thank You to all who have donated. I am forever grateful. Possibility I will have to fund a pre treatment MRI scan and very likely the NHS won't fund my post treatment medication. This will be around £7,000.00. Any further donations would be put towards these costs and would be gratefully received. Thank you all for your kind words and support. Martin x
