I was diagnosed with TN in 2011.  Before this I had never heard of the condition and had no idea how life changing it was.  At my worse point I was unable to speak, walk, eat/drink, brush my teeth or even hug my children and this was on the maximum dose of medication (Carbamazepine).  It truly is an horrendous condition.  I was very fortunate to not only have MVD Surgery (Micro Vascular Decompression) but to also have 100% success. This is not an option for many for various reasons and is also not always a success.

I am raising money for this condition as it is close to my heart and more importantly I want to raise awareness of this condition and I would urge you to read the TNA web page to find out more as apart from the pain of the condition people's unawareness/insensitivity towards the condition was upsetting.

P.S. my husband Philip is also running the Cardiff Half Maraton for TNA as he saw first hand the impact TN had on our family.

Thank you
