Richard Daws is raising money for Multiple Sclerosis Society
In memory of Stephen Daws
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am Running the London Marathon in October in memory of my dad Stephen Daws. He passed away in 2010 after a long battle with MS so I am raising funds for the MS Society.
Your immune system normally protects you by fighting off infection, but in MS it attacks your nerves by mistake. Your nerves control lots of different parts of your body. That’s why you can get MS symptoms in many parts of your body. It’s also why everyone’s MS is different.
Once diagnosed, MS stays with you for life, but treatments and specialists can help you to manage the condition and its symptoms.
There are 3 different types of MS and Dad had Primary progressive MS. Primary progressive MS (PPMS) affects about 10-15% of people diagnosed with MS.
It has this name because from the first (primary) symptoms it is progressive. Symptoms gradually get worse over time, rather than appearing as sudden relapses.
He was just 55 when he passed away in 2010, please help me raise funds for this great charity.
