I am raising funds for a local charity, The Wessex MS Therapy Centre in Warminster, Wiltshire. My wife Ann, was diagnosed with this condition some 15 years ago and continues to battle with it every day of her life.
This year I took part in a Swim Challenge organised by Wiltshire Council to swim the distance from our county town of Trowbridge all the way to London - 91 miles, or 5,858 lengths of my local swimming pool in Pewsey. I am 79 years old, so this is no mean feat- I can assure you!
I have averaged about 61 lengths per session in the pool.
Whilst I am in the pool, Annie waits for me in the car!
The MS Therapy Centre provides invaluable support to those with MS and their families. It is hard to over emphasize the great work they do. So please give what you can to help.
The Therapy Centre provided some additional background on what they do.
Just to give you a bit of background about the Wessex MS Therapy Centre, we are a self-funded registered charity, providing therapies, information and practical and emotional support for people with multiple sclerosis and other conditions, such as Cancer, sports injuries, ME and chronic fatigue among many other conditions. We offer physical therapies in a comfortable and friendly environment to aid symptom management, promoting and enabling independence to improve well-being and quality of life. We want all our members to enjoy each visit to the centre where we provide long term, individual support. We offer physiotherapy, reflexology, oxygen therapy, counselling, massage therapy, nutritional advice, Pilates and yoga.
MS is a life changing condition which has an impact on both friends and family. We know there are many demands on everyone right now but please give whatever you can.
Thank you!
