Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year me and Josh are taking part in the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge in order to raise money for a condition that is extremely close to our heart. ❤

It’s a condition called CMN which stands for Congenital Melanocytic Naevus. This condition only occurs 1 in 20,000 births, so it is a rare and not a very well known condition, and sadly some children born with this condition aren’t as lucky as others.

Please help by giving anything you can so we can raise awareness of this condition, and help fund research into finding a cure. I (Frances) have severe scoliosis which we believe may have been caused due to the extreme operations i had around my back as a child, when the Doctors tried to Reduce my CMN condition. Unfortunately not all of my operations were successful.

My spine is currently 70% curved so its a miracle i can stand straight and that i am still able to flexibly move, however it does mean that the 3 peaks challenge could be more difficult for me than most, so josh wanted to show his support and do this with me.  A HUGE thank you in advance to anyone who donates and shows there support. 💞💕
