MSA Trust: In Memory of Angela Doherty
is raising money for Multiple System Atrophy Trust
In memory of Angela Doherty
Story
It would have been our Mums 70th birthday this month.
This year for her birthday we would like to raise money and awareness for the MSA trust.
MSA (Multiple System Atrophy) is a largely unknown, cruel disease with no cure and little to help alleviate the symptoms. Due to its rarity and similarities to Parkinson's Disease it took a long time for mum to be correctly diagnosed, even amongst the medical profession at times we had to explain her diagnosis.
MSA quickly took mums mobility, speech and independence and left her in constant pain.
Anthony is running 70 Kilometres this month for mums 70th Birthday which coincides with MSA Awareness Month.
By trying to raise money for the MSA trust we hope to help other families who have to watch a loved one go through what mum and we did. Research and awareness is hugely important, as is giving families help and access to information, support and resources.
MSA Trust receive no government funding; the MSA Trust is funded entirely by voluntary donations. Therefore, we are asking you to donate, as much as you feel able, so that we can continue providing free support and information services to all those whose lives are affected by Multiple System Atrophy (MSA).
