Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Both Jen and I have been diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis - a neuromuscular autoimmune disease that has no cure.  That said, we refuse to let it define our lives and want to help others afflicted with the disease - so we're doing both the Morrisons Great Birmingham 10km and Great Birmingham Run (half marathon) in May & October 2015.

myaware is only a small charity, but does significant work in the UK to raise funds for research, help those newly diagnosed and to bring together people with MG - thus how Jen and I met and became friends!  Any and all donations would be amazing and much appreciated!
