Story
For many years, our father Peter suffered with a condition called Myasthenia Gravis. It first became noticeable when his left eyelid began to droop. Over time the condition moved on to affect his speech, legs and breathing.
Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune condition. When you have MG, the antibodies that normally fight infections go wrong and end up attacking the communications system between your brain and your muscle movements. This results in muscle weakness, muscle fatigue and generally making you feel weak.
As Peter got older, the weaker he became, thus robbing him of the ability of pottering around in his garden, the past time he so loved and the quality of life he deserved to have to enjoy his retirement.
Peter sadly passed away on the 25th January 2021. As he was a member of the Myaware, Fighting Myasthenia Together charity, we thought it would be a lovely tribute, to raise money for the charity in Peter's memory.
