My beautiful daughter Amy has suffered from chronic migraine since January 2015. It is a completely debilitating condition and has meant that she has really had to put her life on hold until a way can be found to stop her continuous headaches. She has not been able to work over this period and has found it particularly difficult as most of her friends are starting out on careers and just getting on with their lives.
Like any other Dad, I just want my daughter to be healthy and happy. I am frustrated by the fact that I am unable to provide any real practical support. The Migraine Trust has been a great support to Amy. It relies on charitable donations to undertake research which hopefully can help Amy and other people like her who are suffering so badly. In an effort to do something tangible, I will be running the New Forest Marathon on Sunday 11 September to raise money for the Migraine Trust. If you are able to support me, then this will make my challenge worthwhile. Thank you for reading this and, if you know anything about chronic migraine which might help Amy then please do get in touch.
