Story

So many feelings I don't know where to start... But like last time, I am doing this for a cause very close to my heart. A few months ago I lost one of the most special people in my life, my Grandad.
He was the most smiley, happy, selfless person you could meet. He loved his garden and the birds that would sit outside the window eating the crumbs he'd save for them, he loved his jigsaws and sunday puzzles and watching the soaps as if they were real life. He loved his holidays and the sunshine - Always rocked a glowing tan! But more than anything else in the world, he loved his family to absolute pieces. And we loved him. More than he could have known.

He suffered from a cruel and little heard of disease - Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). It was so heartbreaking to slowly see someone we loved so much, who was so fit and healthy, get so poorly and nobody deserves to suffer how he did. So I am doing this for you Grandad, and to raise as much money as I can for the charity dedicated to providing support and help find a cure for this disease, PSC Support. I will really be so grateful for any donations no matter how small! Thank you so much :) 

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an immune-mediated disease of the bile ducts with no medical treatment. PSC is referred to as ‘the last black box in hepatology’ because there is so much we don’t yet understand about this complex condition, despite impressive research progress in the last decade. People with PSC urgently need a treatment that works. Donating to PSC Support means you are helping us fund more ground-breaking research projects. The next one could be the breakthrough that people with PSC have been waiting for.#LetsBeatPSC
