In October 2021 I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia. This condition affects the trigeminal nerve in the face, either through being damaged or through compression, and in turn sends electric shock like pain through the face.

Whilst anticonvulsant medication keeps mine mostly under control by reducing any abnormal electrical activity in the brain, many people aren't as fortunate and have to undergo severe surgery.

So it's time for me to help raise funds for those people who aren't so fortunate and all the others affected by living with the affects of all brain injury and neurological conditions..

So I will be taking on the LONDON MARATHON 2025(😱) which if you know me, has been a dream of mine (why I don't know!?) for years!

So why Brainkind?
