Many of you are aware that Sam was struck down with this condition last April. We were lucky that a neurologist made the diagnosis early enough and Sam was able to be given the correct treatment.

We want to help raise awareness of GBS and hope that you will all help us by donating what you can. Even the cost of a pint will help us to help them.

Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare autoimmune condition affecting the peripheral nervous system, usually leading to temporary or long-term paralysis. Around 80% of those with GBS will make a good recovery, but between 5-10% of people will not survive and the other 10-15% may be left with severe mobility or dexterity issues. GAIN helps people understand and manage both acute and chronic variants of the syndrome, raises awareness, and promotes clinical and non-clinical research into these conditions.

Thank you all very much in advance
