Mum passed away suddenly in summer 2010 from pneumonia and losing her was a terrible wrench. She is sadly missed by everyone who knew her.

Mum suffered for many years with complications arising from coeliac disease including Sjogrens Syndrome which is a poorly understood autoimmune disorder for which there is little effective treatment, and which causes pain and discomfort to the skin, eyes and salivary glands. Like many others with the condition mum also had arthritis and lung problems. 

I hope you will join with me in making a donation however small to the BSSA to help raise awareness and fund research into this disabling condition.
