Running For #melaniesMission
Donation protected
Hi,
I am a slow, ginger runner (recently more likened to Rab C Nesbitt than Mo Farah in my new running vest!). I recently found out that Melanie (a former student who endured my statistics teaching at Newcastle University) was very ill. I remembered Melanie as one of those students who made teaching enjoyable (clever, witty, engaged with peers and staff).
I'm running the Tynedale half marathon 2016, on Sunday the 15th of May. The race run along the Tyne Green to Warden &Fourstones, returning to finish on the green.
Tynedale half marathon 2016
I am doing this to raise funds for #MelaniesMission.
She has the very severe forms of the rare conditions Ehlers- Danlos Syndrome (EDS) & Severe spinal instability, now also life threatening Cranio - Cervical instability (CCI).
Nobody in the U.K. can perform the CCI fusion on a patient with EDS, so Mel MUST travel & self fund her life saving surgery (over £130K) ASAP.... Without this- she will die!
Watch this video for a quick explanation of #melaniesMission - from the perspective of Mel's 3yo niece Katiya!
