Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

Some of you may know already that a few years ago my Mum was forced to give up work due to ill health. For someone who had found their vocation in life (as a behavioural consultant in schools) this was really tough. What made it even harder is that it took a long time for doctors to understand what was wrong.

 

Myasthenia Gravis was eventually diagnosed (along with a number of other things!) which meant Mum could start to come to terms with her situation and plan how to deal with it. Thanks to research and education, modern treatments mean it is rarely fatal but the impact on quality of life has been pretty serious. Frustratingly MG is not always recognised as a serious illness by insurance companies and medical retirement funds.

 

While Mum isn't one to complain, we want to do what we can to support the Myasthenia Gravis Association so that they can continue to fund research, develop the excellent support services they offer, and raise awareness of this condition and it's debilitating effects.
