Alexandra's Skydive

Skydive · 28 February 2018
Motor neurone disease (MND) describes a group of diseases that affect the nerves (motor neurones) in the brain and spinal cord that tell your muscles what to do. With MND, messages from these nerves gradually stop reaching the muscles, leading them to weaken, stiffen and waste.
MND is life-shortening and there is no cure. Although the disease will progress, symptoms can be managed to help achieve the best possible quality of life.
I cannot even begin to describe how this disease affects the body, the mind, and the spirit.
This video explains mnd better than words ever could (beware some viewers may find this upsetting)

I have been a care worker for about 5 years. I currently care for a gentleman with motor neuron disease I have seen first hand how this horrible disease eats away at the body slowly until your a prisoner in your own skin, your body becomes a cage. It is the most upsetting illness I have ever witnessed and something needs to be done because NO ONE deserves this frightening torture!
It’s because of the positive outlook and strength this man and his family have that has driven me to do all I can in aid of mnd. He is an inspiration to everyone he knows and has sure made an impact on my outlook on life.
So please sponsor me to put “my” fears to the test in this skydive and let’s raise as much money as possible for MNDA!
let’s find the answers to stop this excruciating disease!
The sky’s the limit
Who’s with me??
