Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I am running the Vienna City Marathon on the 23rd April 2023 and I’m hoping to raise funds for this local charity. 

The charity has been of great support to our family ever since our 18 year old  daughter Nicole was diagnosed 4 years ago with having FND (Functional Neurological Disorder).  

The condition causes Nicole to suffer from seizures, tremors, drop attacks, speech impediments and she has also spent some time in a wheel chair after being left unable to walk. 

The charity has encouraged Nicole to set up a support group where other teenagers and young adults have came forward and they now realise that they are not suffering on their own and they are able to talk openly in a safe environment about their condition and how it effects both their physical and mental health. 

The charity currently does not have any premises but they are in the process of trying to acquire and secure premises where they can invite sufferers to meet with Psycologist’s  neurologists, physiotherapists and councillors. 

Hopefully any money I can raise by doing the marathon  will go a little way  to help with this process. 

Thank you everyone in advance for supporting myself and this very worthy cause.

Jim.
