<div>“Your options are limited; it could lead to dementia; it’ll affect the nervous system and heart; you could be wheelchair bound; it’ll lead to mental and physical disability and is lifelong.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What if you heard specialists say this to you? How would you cope?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Meet Steven. One of the first people in my YBL classes. One of my reasons why I pursued my career and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before lockdown; Steven loved playing football; training with mates; you name it - he’ll do it. Such a lovely, friendly guy, would help any way he can and so supportive of everyone around him. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During lockdown; Steven was initially diagnosed with depression and anxiety but he knew these diagnosis were wrong: he was shaking 18 hours a day; experiencing constant ear ringing; burning sensations; extreme emotional disturbances; crippling anxiety and at his worst; bed bound and unable to function at all. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Post lockdown: It's been a heartbreaking and horrendously rough time for Steven. He will try absolutely anything to get his health back and has tried a lot of treatment to feel even slightly like Steven pre-illness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Steven had spent £150,000 on medical testing and treatments. Most treatment failed and his chronic illness was just getting worse. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Eventually he was diagnosed with:
</div>
<div>Late-Stage Lyme Disease and Biotoxin illness, along with a co-infection of a second strain of bacteria from the lyme called Bartonella.
</div>
<div>But it's more complicated than we once thought. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And the worse part, there is no curative treatment in the UK. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Not many people get treated at all and most just take medication to help with pain. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm really scared Steven's losing hope; and due to financial strain, we are running out of options.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This next treatment in Germany that has given us a slight hope is unfortunately very expensive, approximately £30,000 pounds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s what I’m asking.
</div>
<div>Please help. Please.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s such a huge amount of money for anyone to raise. But together; I really think we can help. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If 30,000 people see this and gave £1 we’ll make it. If you don’t have much to give; just give what you can. If you don’t have anything to give please share this post or the link and someone you know might be in a position to be able to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I really want us to help my friend. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And I do think we can help him together. 
</div>
<div>We can change his life. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading this. ❤️
</div>
