Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year my grandpa passed away after a late diagnosis of myositis. He was a wonderful person and an amazing painter who loved all things animals and wildlife. Grandpa always had a camera in his hand recording us all and making DVDs for us to watch back. We all love and miss him so much every day.

In May this year I am running the Edinburgh half marathon in my grandpas memory and to raise money for the charity Myositis UK. I also want to use this as a chance to raise awareness of this disease, to help others potentially reach a diagnosis faster.

Myositis is a rare autoimmune disease which causes inflammation, fatigue and weakness of the muscles. It can cause difficulties with movement, swallowing and doing day-to-day tasks. It can be treated if it is diagnosed early enough.

Any donations would be MASSIVELY appreciated, even if its just £1 or if you can't please have a read of the myositis uk website, a look at what myositis is and the research they are involved in.

Thank you so much, love you all x
