MSA is a progressive neurological disease that causes nerve cells to shrink in different areas of the brain. The brain cells needed for movement,speech,swallowing and continence. It affects around 5 in 100,000. Of which there is no cure. My Auntie Carole was one of the unlucky 5.

In November Carole lost her battle to this awful condition. Carole was a very successful and active women. She enjoyed golf, loved traveling. Up until 4/5 years ago when this terrible condition gradually took hold. 

It was so painful to watch someone you love and admire so much. Trapped in their own body. Your brain is sending messages but the messages just aren't going through. Pure frustration.

I miss my friend, my traveling companion, my confidante, I miss the looks we used to give each other that only we both understood. 

The MSA foundation for which i am raising funds is the soul provider for research into Multiple System Atrophy. The foundation rely's totally on  donations. and so fund raising like this is so important. Being a lesser known condition than the more well known, equally horrible conditions means donations and funds are smaller and less frequent. The present climate means all fundraising for all the charities have been hit. This makes any donations, however small, all the more important. Please give what you can, and know that every penny will go to helping assist and hopefully in the future, alleviate this horrible, debilitating condition!

I am not normally one for posting on social media. But after experiencing and caring for Carole  with this awful condition. The more people that are aware of MSA the more money can be raised, the more research can be done and more treatments and the assistance can be given.

Thank you in advance for your kind donations and taking the time to read this.
