Story

  As some of you know ... Or don't know this year has been a very difficult and life changing year for me, as in march I was diagnosed with a Neuro Muscular disease called Myasthenia Gravis."What is Myasthenia Gravis? It is classified as an auto-immune disease ...

The body's immune system attacks itself weakening the voluntary muscles that control the eyes, the face, throat and limbs and the muscles that help us breath. So if it isn't treated it can be dangerous even life threatening"

 

I have got through this year with the amazing support from Sam Newman who has pulled me up when I am down and kept me strong and positive! Also my Mum and Dad my family and my close Friends and Mark Edward Carter who have managed to keep me smiling and living a normal (for me) as possible life. 

 

I know there are much worse things in life than what I have got and that there are a lot of people who have more life threatening conditions than me, but http://www.mga-charity.org is a small charity that is funded only by money that is donated and as MG is a very rare disease that most people have never even heard of funds are few and far between So every penny really does count .

 

So ... next year Sam and Mark have pledged together a total of £3000 to raise for MGA charity by running the LONDON MARATHON

 

By sponsoring and showing your support you will help raise funds to research the disease, find better medication to control it or even a cure! and help those who don't have the support unit I have.

 

We will be doing lots of events and find raising activities to help raise the money.

 

If you could join our page and help us reach our target it would make a massive difference and mean a lot 

 

And thank you to everyone who has supported me so far! Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have the people around me that care so much! 

 

 

THANK YOU !!! 

 

really!! from the bottom if my heart Holly xxx
