Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the end of 2018, I was diagnosed with a rare muscle disease, myositis, which causes muscle inflammation and weakness. There is currently no cure. It has had a huge impact on my life as I have had to take early retirement and it limits my daily activities significantly. Research is desperately needed to find better treatments and (hopefully) a cure to this chronic disease. That's why I'm raising money for Myositis UK. They are a small charity and rely on fundraising so that they can support research projects. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
