Hi everyone

I will be taking on the physical and mental challenge of running 24 miles in 24 hours to support all of those who suffer from CRPS to be able to have Scrambler Therapy in the UK. I will be tired and my body will ache but it will be insignificant to the pain that people suffer everyday from this condition which is also known as 'the suicide disease.'

Currently the nearest places to have this therapy is either Germany, Italy or Ireland. It would be amazing to be able to get a machine in this country and have a doctor trained to use it. This would significantly reduce the costs of travel and accommodation as well as the pain and stress of flying or driving to another country. This machine and a doctor who is trained to use it will change the lives and the level of pain for so many people.

This therapy has enabled my child to be pain free for over 12 months. Prior to this she was in significant pain every minute of the day for a year, taking opioid medication to relieve a bit of the pain, hardly went to school, could not walk unaided or had to use a wheelchair. She missed months and months of school, both the academic and the social aspects.

This is a life changing condition. Scrambler Therapy does not work for everyone, we were given an 80% chance that it would significantly reduce the pain or take it away completely - which it did. We don't know if the pain will return, for many it does. For now we want to help many others who suffer daily to have the opportunity for this treatment in the UK.
