As some of you may know Glyn (our Dad, Grandad & Husband) was hospitalised on the 12th June 2020 after a fall. It turned out that he had Guillain-Barré syndrome a very rare autoimmune condition. There isn’t a lot know about this condition and we would like to help raise awareness. Glyn has been in various hospitals since the 12th June as we are hoping that he should be discharged at the end of October though his recovery will still be a long road we are very grateful to have a light at the end of the discharge tunnel and with Covid you can imagine how hard this has been for us not being able to go and see him  

We will walk/run in miles the amount of days Glyn stayed in hospital over about a week (once we know how many days it is we can see if it’s doable in a week) as of 10th September 2020 Glyn has been is hospital for 90days.

The charity Gain have supported our family by giving us information and answering our questions in a really tough time and we want to help raise money so they can continue to support other families in the same position  

Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare autoimmune condition affecting the peripheral nervous system, usually leading to temporary or long-term paralysis. Around 80% of those with GBS will make a good recovery, but between 5-10% of people will not survive and the other 10-15% may be left with severe mobility or dexterity issues. GAIN helps people understand and manage both acute and chronic variants of the syndrome, raises awareness, and promotes clinical and non-clinical research into these conditions.
