Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
So this October I’m heading off to China to embark on a challenge (Great wall of China Trek) to raise funds for Kennedy’s Disease UK KD-UK. My husband Mark suffers from the disease. Currently there is no treatment or cure. The disease affects people in different ways and to different degrees. Mark had been a bricklayer all his working life, something that he loved doing. This illness has robbed him if his job, income but most importantly it has robbed him of the ‘camaraderie’ that came with working with like minded colleagues. Mark hasn’t worked in the traditional sense since December 2019. Having said that he gets up every day he pushes himself through the pain and exhaustion caused by this disease. He falls over on a daily basis, when he does fall he has to crawl to something that he can lean on and try and pull himself up on which is becoming more difficult with every fall. If for any reason Mark has had to use stairs for anything he has to so on his hands and knees. So enough doom and gloom about this horrible illness. Please get your debit cards out and start giving. Any money donated goes straight to aid research and possible treatments for future sufferers.
I am self funding this adventure which means everything that is donated goes straight to the charity, Nothing given will go towards the trip at all.
Many thanks for your time and support
