We’re climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in October 2022 with Charity Challenge in aid of Trigeminal Neuralgia Association UK. Sophie was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia in late 2015 and underwent brain surgery in August 2016.

We want to use this challenge as a platform to increase awareness of trigeminal neuralgia. It's such a worthy cause and very important to so many people.

We know this is going to be an incredibly difficult challenge but we’re going to beat that mountain!

TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA is an extremely severe facial pain that tends to come and go unpredictably in sudden shock-like attacks. The pain is normally triggered, for example by light touch, and is described as stabbing, shooting, excruciating or burning. It usually lasts for a few seconds but there can be many bursts of pain in quick succession.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Association UK (TNA UK) provide information, support and encouragement to those who suffer this excruciatingly painful condition. Their aim is to raise awareness of TN within the medical community and the general public at large. As a registered charity, TNA UK is entirely dependent on donations and annual membership fees in order to continue its work. TNA UK receive no funding whatsoever from central Government or corporate organisations.
