Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi, i was diagnosed with this devastating, cruel condition In 2007.  It has robbed me of life leaving me entirely reliant on others to assist me with anything I want to do. I can't thank my wife, Angela enough for what she does! It was a shock to find that life expectancy was between six and ten years as there is no cure. I decided to do something to raise money for the MSA Trust for research. So far family and friends have helped to raise.About £11915.89 addtional to the donations shown on the right of this page giving the grand total shown. which is fantastic. I want to see how much can be raised as I'd like to think there will be a time when no one has to experience what I've experienced. A number of events are being planned, however individual donations are welcome.. Keep an eye on this page and see how well we can do together!
