Sadly, just before Christmas our friend and colleague at Nottingham College Mick Webster-Iacovou was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Through hard work, determination and a positive outlook, Mick is on the road to recovery however many people with this diagnosis are not so lucky.

To put a smile on Micko's face Rebecca is going to be running a half-marathon and Zoe will be shaving off her hair. We are doing this in conjunction with the Nottingham College Health and Social Care department's 'Feel Good Feb' event on the 23rd February.

Please dig deep and donate whatever you can! We are trying to figure how to live stream the big shave but we are rubbish at technology so bear with us...

See you on the other side!

Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare autoimmune condition affecting the peripheral nervous system, usually leading to temporary or long-term paralysis. Around 80% of those with GBS will make a good recovery, but between 5-10% of people will not survive and the other 10-15% may be left with severe mobility or dexterity issues. GAIN helps people understand and manage both acute and chronic variants of the syndrome, raises awareness, and promotes clinical and non-clinical research into these conditions.
