Story

Updated on May 23rd 2012 at 12:14 AM from the JustGiving API

Thanks to everybody who has sponsored me and our team Christophers dollies. We are doing fantastic and have exceeded our target. We are all looking forward to the Moonlight walk on Saturday night. If you would still like to sponsor we would really appreciate it, no donation is too small xxxx

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am proud to be part of the team "Christopher's dollies" and I am doing the Moonlight Walk in memory of my friend Christopher Howarth,who so bravely fought not only Huntington's disease but was dealt the further blow of Motor Nurone disease too. 

Only 4 other people in the world have ever had both of these fatal diseases at the same time.

St. Catherine's looked after Chris and all his family in his final days and he passed to a better place in February with his wife Catherine by his side.

The care he received there was second to none. 

On a lighter note Chris would think it hilarious that I am doing this walk, as he knew me well, "I don't do walking" but I will make an exception for Chris !!!

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please help me raise as much as I can for St Catherine's all donations will be gratefully accepted.  Thanks in advance

Love Joan xxx
