If you suffer the agony of migraine, you already know it's so much more than 'just a headache'. For millions, migraine causes chronic pain and other disabling symptoms that affect relationships, jobs and education. And you'll know too that those who can find really effective treatment are the lucky few.
That's why were here. But we face a crisis like no other and we desperately need your help.
This year, we have faced devastating financial losses as the terrible impact of Covid-19 has hurt us. Our income has collapsed and, without your help, our future is in doubt.
Its not too late - but we need help now.
We may have been able to help you in the past - now we urgently need your help to protect the National Migraine Centre and the people who rely on us.
People like George, an eight-year-old boy who has suffered with migraines since he was just three.
When I get a migraine, my head hurts and I want to be in the dark, lying down. And then I know I'll be sick because my saliva rushes in my mouth... If it's a bad one, I know I will be in agony.
George misses out on school and struggles to concentrate. But he misses family events too, enduring a terrible migraine throughout his sister's birthday party.
Since coming to the National Migraine Centre, George's migraines are under control thanks to his 'special medicine to stop me being sick'. But George isn't alone - millions more live with the daily pain of untreated migraine. Without us, what hope will they have?
At this time of giving, can you spare just one more gift to help protect the future of the National Migraine Centre and end the suffering of someone like George?
We hope we have helped you in the past. Please, if you can, help the National Migraine Centre today.
Without your support, our future is at risk and countless people face a painful future without access to the treatment they so desperately need.
We receive no money from government or the NHS - we rely on people like you who know the misery of untreated migraine.
Just one more gift this year could make all the difference. Please, will you help?
Thank you.
