Please help Emily, recently diagnosed with ALS

My name is Emma. My beautiful friend Emily was diagnosed in 2024 with a cruel terminal disease called ALS. A heartbreaking neurological disorder, effecting the nerves in the brain that control muscle movement, unfortunately getting worse over time with a 2-5 year life expectancy.

It has left Emily extremely weak, unable to leave the house without assistance or walking frame, needing daily physio care to help ease her muscles spasm'.

Emily and her husband Alan have had to move house, as Emily can no longer climb the stairs.

Those of you that have met Em, know what a loving, kind, vivacious, caring, fun and loyal friend she is.

As her friend, I want to help her and Al get the very best medical care possible. Locally, where Em lives in France, the options are extremely limited to the point where Emily and Al need to look farther afield for support.

It is Al’s mission to get Emily to The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, USA. The number one neurological hospital in the world. They offer different assessments, trials and treatments, which they believe might help Emily and also the lives of others.

Emily is completely focused on trying to fight this horrible disease and find answers so that she can help herself and others.

As Emily is so physically fragile, it is not going to be a straightforward trip and will be financially demanding. In an effort to raise funds for Emily and Al I have set up this Go Fund Me.

Your help is so appreciated by Emily, Al, myself and all of those who love her.
