Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Many of you will be aware but my lovely friend/neighbour Laura has been suffering with Trigeminal Neuralgia (also known as the suicide disease) and sadly this disease is debilitating. I've seen Laura on her worst days and seriously wouldn't wish this upon anyone.

Laura chose to have brain surgery to correct this as the medication that she was taking was causing more harm than good, and Laura just wanted to live a normal life and have a family of her own.

Sadly the operation didn't go to plan and a year down the line Laura is still off work and struggling with many things. She's been through several operations and perhaps still more to come but its safe to say that her life has been changed forever. It is the most heart breaking thing to see your friend go through, knowing that you cant do anything to help other than support them and be there for them.

So I have decided to do 100 skips a day to raise money for the TN Association and this is my way of helping support the charity so there is more awareness and treatment options for this awful condition that truly lives up to its name 'suicide disease'.

This is for you Laura, so so proud of you xxxx
