Penine way cluster headache walk.
Donation protected
I'm 34, suffered with chronic pain since the age of 26 from a condition called Cluster Headache (also known as Suicide Headache...yay). It's non life threatning but I doubt I'll be losing it anytime soon. I work at a supermarket, trying to my hardest to beat this thing holding me back but I feel the need to raise awareness of this condition for those that suffer from it the most by doing a personal feat of strength like the one I am to propose. I know there are probably better causes out there like cancer research etc. but chronic pain that is hard for a doctor to give a valid diagnosis of for something they could simply just pass off with a migrane. Cluster Headache has the nickname "Suicide Headache" due to this intense pain that resides behind eye, forehead, temple and jaw that causes some people to apply more pain to combat said pain.
I hope I haven't scared people off. I always do trying to explain it to others.
I want to walk a 267 mile + walk called the Penine way , hoping I can raise just a little awareness for mine and the others out there that need a little understanding into this alone and painful condition for them and their familys.
If I get any money I will be donating towards the charity OUCH ( Organisation for the Understanding of Cluster Headaches). https://ouchuk.org/home. I am a member and will be for time to come.
I will be documenting the journey using a GoPro camera with video and photos, updating my progress.
From losing a chunk of my life meant I missed out on a load of stuff I hoped to do during that time. Now I have treatment helping me, raising awareness so others can be rightfully diagnosed and giving the right treatment , I guess, is now my ultimate goal.
I really don't expect to get anything from this, this is just a chance for me to do something of a challenge, while raising awareness for a undocumentaded illness I suffered with. A fundraiser. Never thought I would be asking for this. I thank those that take notice and will try to deliver on everything I have said and asked for.
Thank you for your time.
