Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
I am running the British 10k London with my Fiancée Callie to raise money for The Migraine Trust.
All too often people dismiss migraines as a serious condition and sufferers tend to get little sympathy. What people sometimes fail to understand is that Migraines are an extremely debilitating condition that affects not only the sufferer but those close to them also.
No migraine sufferer is alike. Scientists have been doing research into what causes migraine for decades. The understanding of migraine has improved greatly in the last decade, although there is still a great deal to learn. Migraine is, essentially, a brain problem. It involves a disorder of how 'sensory information', such as pain, light or sound, is dealt with by the brain.
I am running because I suffer greatly with severe sustained migraines that afflict me for weeks or months at a time and I want to help further scientific research into the causes, triggers and treatments of Migraines so that I and millions of others do not have to suffer anymore. I also want to raise awareness of migraines as a serious condition.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Migraine Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
Matt.
