Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Mum passed away peacefully on 3/9/2017, aged 94. For the last 17 years of her life she suffered paralysis of the left side of her face through contracting Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (a complication of shingles). Mum dealt with her paralysis with typical courage and strength, even though the nerves and eye often caused significant problems for her, and we think it fitting that we have chosen to help research into this condition. You can read more about the illness and symptoms - many of which affected Mum - via the following link:
