<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>In 1998 I had what seemed a minor road traffic accident. However it triggered Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and left me in agonising pain. Eventually the illness cost me a promising career in 2005.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Like many other pain sufferers at the time, I did not understand why I was in such pain when my injuries appeared to be healed. Thanks to organisations such as Pain Concern much more information is now available.</strong></span></p> <p>My good friend John Bennett and I have collected for <strong>Pain Concern </strong>for some time now, by rattling the collection tins whenever we exhibit our model railways. We currently stand at around &pound;1000 thanks to the generosity of N Gauge Society members and visitors at model rail shows. However, I would like to do a little bit more and help them raise further funds for the helpline etc.</p> <p>I understand what living with severe pain means as I have suffered since 1998. Thats why I support <strong>Pain Concern</strong>. Please help me to help others who suffer long term pain.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
