Story

Hey guys & thanks for the support with this fundraising event I decided to start.

Sadly 3 years ago my Grandma was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and was given 2 years to live. Throughout that 2 years I saw my Grandma's body slowly shut down around her.. she was becoming unable to walk and unable to talk. 

Its the saddest thing I have ever witnessed because I would have done anything. Absolutely anything to have helped her but sadly.. there was nothing that could be done :( 

2 Years after being Diagnosed my Grandma passed away.. 

It crushed me.. I saw my active healthy Grandma go from being her normal self being able to do what ever she wanted to basically being immobilized.

She still had her thoughts and her memories & wanted to go out and live her life but was left unable to do so because her body was shutting down around her. It was simply getting worse as each day went by. 

It came from nowhere and destroyed her life. Her body was falling apart but her mental state was still there and that more than anything was the saddest thing for me.. Seeing someone who was so active and had so much passion to do things.. simply couldn't. 

There is no cure for this horrible disease accept raise awareness and help fun the research for a cure. 

So help me to try and raise a kick as amount of £133,337 to help fight this B*TCH of a disease!
