Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  My lovely son is running in this year's Brighton Marathon for the Dystonia Society.  Dystonia is a miserable debilitating neurological condition, research continues but funds are short, shorter still for some treatments for patients.  There seems to be no reason why someone should fairly suddenly develop symptoms associated to and with dystonia, it can be caused through shock, disease, trauma or because of some genetic reason.  Indeed in my opinion it seems to almost hit people quite randomly.  I know it is not life threatening, but it is totally life changing.  Please help us by donating to my Justgiving page.  The following page gives a link to footage of a young man I know of who has dystonia which shows just how devastating dystonia can be
