MACKERELS RUN FOR VICKY
”you had our back, now we’ve got yours”
Mackerel class are doing a fundraising event to raise money for their much loved teacher Miss Roberts.
She has an infectious smile, laugh & love for the children of her class, the children absolutely love her & miss her so much, they really want to get involved and help.
On Sunday 4th July, Mackerel class will be doing a sponsor run/ walk at Newquay Sports Centre to raise as much money as possible for their beloved teacher.
Miss Roberts (Vicky) life has been turned upside down and she remains in constant pain & fear. She urgently needs brain surgery.- [ ]
she was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia.
- [ ] Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as suicide disease, is sometimes described as the most excruciating pain known to all humanity. The pain typically involves the lower face and jaw, although sometimes it affects the area around the nose and above the eye. It is an intense, stabbing, electric shock-like pain and is caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve, which sends branches to the forehead, cheek and lower jaw. It is usually limited to one side of the face. The pain can be triggered by an action as routine and minor as brushing your teeth, eating or the wind. Attacks progressively worsen. Sometimes it can be helped by medication but for some, surgery is the only option.
- [ ] Desperate for the completely debilitating pain to end and with the NHS wait to see a neurologist at 24 weeks, she decided to see a neurologist privately. He wanted to do an MRI which meant another 26 week wait through the NHS, so again she and her partner, Tommy managed to raise the funds and had the MRI privately.
- [ ] With the pain getting increasingly worse and more frequent the neurologist changed and increased her medication. At Christmas she had a horrible few months and had on several occasions been suicidal.
Please donate and help the children raise as much as possible
Thank you
