Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page raising money for the amazing MNDA.
I was diagnosed with ALS a form of motor neurone disease in February 2022 and have received so much support and felt that I really wanted to give something back.
In June 2021 I noticed my left foot would slap the floor whilst walking I went to see my GP and he suggested it was foot drop. As time went on there was no improvement and I started with muscle cramps through the night. In September I started to see muscle spasms in my left arm and at that point my GP advised me to see a neurologist. At the beginning of January 2022 I had my first consultation where the specialist noticed muscle loss in my shoulders and left hand and I was then referred for a electro myography test in February - from then things moved very quickly and within a week I was back in for the results and diagnosis.
Now fast forward to July 2022 and I have lost a lot of the strength in my arms and struggle to walk far. I am strong minded but don't get me wrong I have bad days.
I will continue to fight this cruel disease for my family and friends so please do help us raise money so that the amazing MNDA can keep pushing for new treatments to be found and so that they can continue to help other MND Warriors and their families
