Crystal’s Journey ❤️

A doctor told me the woman I love was going to die. Today, I’m watching her learn to walk again. ❤️

My partner Crystal was diagnosed with an incredibly rare brain disease called Susac syndrome, which affects the brain, eyes and ears.

I’ll never forget pleading with a doctor to save her life, only to hear the words “I’m sorry, she’s going to die.”

I can’t describe what it feels like to be told you’re going to lose the person you love.

After months in a coma, a year in hospital and seven rounds of chemotherapy, somehow Crystal managed to survive. ❤️

The disease caused severe brain damage, affecting her mobility and leaving her having to learn to walk again.

Watching her take those first steps after everything she’s been through is the most inspiring thing I’ve ever seen!

I couldn’t be prouder of her. ❤️

Sadly, the battle isn’t over. The disease has recently become active in her eyes, putting her at risk of losing her sight. Thankfully, treatment is looking promising, but there’s still a long road ahead.

That’s why we’re raising money for The Brain Charity, to help other people and families affected by neurological conditions.

If we can help even one other person going through something similar, then it’s worth it. ❤️

Our goal is to raise £5,000, hopefully even more!

And to help raise money, I’ll be shaving all my hair off live, in the middle of winter! 😮 🥶

Whether it’s £1, £5, £10 or anything you can spare, every donation means so much.

And if you can’t donate, please share our page. ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us turn Crystal’s journey into something positive.

Lawrence & Crystal ❤️
