Hello, my name is Tom. I was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in November 2023, when I was 31 years old. I have been fighting this illness as hard as I can, but to be blunt, I’m losing.

In just two short years, I have lost the ability to walk, move my arms, and even breathe unaided. It is truly terrifying. However, I have come too far to just give up, and with the help of friends, family, and even strangers, I am stubbornly fighting against the odds.

Jade has significantly had to reduce her hours at work to care for me at home, and as the illness progresses and the cost of living rises, this puts us under massive strain. Money kindly donated so far has helped to buy essential equipment and fund some unforgettable day trips to make as many memories as possible, but to help unload some of the worry and pay for less exciting but necessary things such as my funeral.

We ask for any help you can provide, even if it is just sharing our page amongst your friends, family, and colleagues.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you.
