April 23rd 2017 would have been my fathers 81st birthday. It is apt perhaps that the Marathon landed on this date as he is no longer with us. Tinnitus is often commonly thought of as a "ringing in the ears". For some people it may come and go and only be a minor irritation. However, it can be continuous and have a significant impact on everyday life. Severe cases can be very distressing, affect concentration, and cause problems such as sleeping difficulty (insomnia) and depression. In extreme cases, as with my father, it lead to suicide. With your donation, awareness can be raised of the illness and help is at hand. Please help me to help others. Your support, however large or small is greatly appreciated
