Update:

Thank you! Your support means so much. To everyone who has given and will help, you are amazing. I am currently building my stamina and will soon be stepping up to 10km runs.

Helen has been living with a terrible nerve condition which has a changed her life, losing the use of her legs. Specialists believe Helen has a rare form of CIDP as previous treatment has not been successful. Helen is now at home undergoing treatment and physio.

I am fundraising by taking part in the Great North Run and would love your kind support.

Please help Helen and other sufferers to get the most out of life as we both adapt to the situation in our new home together.

Thank you for your support.
