Gillian's MND Fundraiser for Canada

Donation protected
Gillian is my beloved sister in law, piano teacher, wife, mother to 3 grown up children and just an amazingly beautiful and talented person who is loved by many so it's so very sad that she has just been recently diagnosed with a devastating illness, MND Motor Neuron Disease, an uncommon condition that affects the brain and nervous system eventually causing weakness in the muscles that gets worse over time.  Despite progresses in medical science to date there is no known cure and  it can significantly shorten life expectancy. Treatments to help reduce the impact on daily life are available and she is undergoing medical trials in Sheffield to help slow the progression of the disease.  Despite this news she remains one of the most inspiring, strong, upbeat and positive individuals there is to be around, she is more worried about her family and friends than herself only yesterday she organised a massive party for 70 people because she wanted to spend time with those she loves and spread joy instead of sadness.  

I decided to take the initiative to try and make life more comfortable for Gillian and to enable her and her family to achieve some life goals.  She has expressed that she would like to take a trip to Canada to see the delights of this amazing country and enjoy the  breathtaking landscapes and quality time with her family.  So I am wanting to raise enough funds to get her and her family comfortably back and forth to Canada asap whilst she is still able to do so and to kick off a few other things on her bucket list.  If you can contribute any funds however small to help make this trip possible that would be so wonderful and gratefully appreciated by all who love her.  

Any remaining funds after the trip will be donated to MND research to help find a cure for this horrible disease.   

Thank you so much for your kindness and support in advance.
