Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Someone recently asked me why I am doing this fundraising event.

My answer, each morning I wake up beside the most amazing person I have ever met, which reminds me how lucky I am.

😢Unfortunately, Jeannine has Multiple Sclerosis, each morning watching her struggling to get out of bed most days in pain. Climbing into her wheelchair would exhaust her, making her feel she has just completed a marathon and often needs help.

😢Looking at Jeannine seeing the fatigue draining away her energy after trying to do simple tasks. She used to enjoy cooking for the family, sadly unable to stand long enough to cook a meal.

😢When taking a bath, have a shower or wash her hair is a mammoth task, tiring Jeannine out and making her feel it’s not worth getting out bed some days. Never knowing how she going to feel each day, whether it’s going to be a bad day or good one.

😢Unable to walk to enjoy the wonderful views when visiting the countryside or feeling the sand between her toes. Regularly unable to stop falling, injuring herself in the process and most often staying there waiting for help to arrive.

 😢Losing your independence and relying on other people to do things for her.

😢Sadly, having to give up the job she loved doing in 2014 at the age of 49 years, losing contact with her work friends & colleague’s whom she had enjoyed their company for so long. Most often would not venture outdoors and stay in looking at the four walls of the living room.

😢Living with someone with MS and knowing other sufferers, I see their battle and could only imagine what they are going through, I am so lucky to be able to do so many things, which we all take for granted.

If it was not for The Berkshire MS Therapy Centre, many people living with Multiple Sclerosis would have a much harder time. With over 30 years’ experience of working with people from Berkshire and the surrounding counties, they often specialised treatments within an understanding, supportive community.

During the pandemic when the centre was closed, they continued to offer their members treatments and support using zoom. For some people this was their only contact with the outside world as they live on their own. Each year the centre needs to raise £450,000 to keep the centre going.

A group of local businesses owners who are friends as well, are helping to achieve this target of £25,000 with me and I so grateful for their time, support, and help. This Sunday we will be doing our first sponsor event, the Wokingham 24Km walk, enjoying the surroundings of Berkshire countryside.

This is why I am doing couple of events to raise money and awareness starting with Wokingham Walk in May & finishing the Three Peaks over three days in late September/ Early October 

PLEASE HELP US TO ACHIEVE OUR TARGET BY DONATING TO THE LINK IN THE COMMENT BOX BELOW.
