Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My Mum, Kathleen Gowans, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Motor Neurones Disease in December 2011.  Mum had been fit, active and healthy before her diagnosis.  MND is a cruel, progressive disease which left Mum unable to move, walk, talk, eat, swallow.  Trapped in a body that no longer worked yet her mind still the same.  She took the diagnosis with dignity and strength.  She thanked God every day for how lucky she was in life.  She did not once complain or show her frustration.   Mum was an inspiration to all who knew her, her strength and courage gave us all the strength to care for her at home, where she finally passed away peacefully.

At this time there is only one drug available that only slightly slows down this disease.  I hope by raising funds for MND that more research can be made, hoping medicine can be found to stop this disease from progressing.

Our heart, soulmate, our world.  Love you Forever Mum xxx
