Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

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.

My good friend John Bennett and I have collected for Pain Concern for some time now, by rattling the collection tins whenever we exhibit our model railways. We currently stand at around £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.

I understand what living with severe pain means as I have suffered since 1998. Thats why I support Pain Concern. Please help me to help others who suffer long term pain.
