Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you will know just over a month ago I had an incident which caused me to develop dystonia. Dystonia is an involuntary movement disorder formed of uncontrollable and often painful muscle spasms caused by incorrect signals from the brain. 

Dystonia has many forms and while I am lucky that my dystonia should be a temporary condition, some people will live with dystonia for a lifetime. Over the past month I have experienced firsthand the frustration and anguish of being unable to do everyday things, being unable to speak properly, work, travel or socialise without complete sensory overload.

I have made lots of progress in the last month aided by my amazing family and friends and I am lucky that I will make a full recovery. However I want to raise awareness not only for a condition that affects more than 70,000 people. 

 with the help of my brilliant running buddy Rosie, I was able to complete the race in 53 minutes, surpassing all expectations I had. I am immensely proud not only of myself but of all the people who have sponsored me and who cheered me on on the day.

It's not too late to help me reach £2,000 so if you haven't donated yet please help reach this great goal for this amazing charity.
