Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I decided to set up this page as my wife has suffered from the condition for 20 years now. She amazes me everyday with her ability not only to cope with the condition itself, but also her incredible patience with those who refuse to see this 'invisible condition'

Although the illness ended a promising football career on top of all the other things it limits I have never once heard her complain or moan about what it has done or how it has affected her life. I've never heard her even moan about my clumsy attempts to 'help'!

I've also witnessed the fantastic help and support she receives from her local specialists and been overawed by the work the NRAS does. I'm constantly reading their booklets etc for new info and new ways to help both professionally and personally.

So for all those suffering in silence, please give to these amazing people and let them have the support my wife, and I, have been lucky enough to have.

Thank you
