Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you will know, I was diagnosed last year with Myasthenia Gravis:

MG is a rare, chronic, autoimmune disease which can affect anyone of any age. Its hallmark is fluctuating muscle weakness that can affect almost any muscle of the body. I went from being perfectly healthy to not being able to talk, eat or walk properly, even breathing, swallowing and simply keeping my eyes open or smiling became difficult.

This illness affects my life every day and what is frightening is that there is no known cure. The Myasthenia Gravis Association supports research into MG in the UK in the hope of improving diagnosis, treatment and hopefully even finding a cure.

On Sunday 23rd September, I will be walking with friends for 4 or 8 miles through the city of London to try and raise money for MG. 4 miles might not sound very far but that will feel like a marathon for someone with MG!

Any donations for the charity in support of my walk would be gratefully received. Below is the JustGiving information on how to donate.
