I am doing something I never thought I would, for a very worthy cause. Those who know me well will know how far out of my comfort zone this is, how much I hate flying & how unimaginable it is for me to chose to jump out of the plane at 15,000ft! However, it wouldn't be a challenge if it wasn't difficult and this is for a cause close to my heart. Multiple sclerosis has been an ever present part of our lives, affecting several of our loved ones including my lovely cousin, Steve, who is skydiving with me in September. When he asked me to join him, I definitely couldn't say no!!!
MS is a disease that impacts the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves, which make up the central nervous system which controls everything we do. The resulting damage to myelin, the protective layer insulating wire-like nerve fibres, disrupts signals to and from the brain. This interruption of communication signals causes unpredictable symptoms such as numbness, tingling, mood changes, memory problems, pain, fatigue, blindness and/or paralysis.
I am raising money for the Wessex MS Therapy Centre. 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. They offer therapies such as physiotherapy, reflexology, oxygen therapy, counselling, massage therapy, nutritional advice, pilates and yoga in a comfortable and friendly environment to aid symptom management, promoting and enabling independence to improve well-being and quality of life.
If you feel able to sponsor my jump and, in turn, the Wessex MS Therapy Centre, I would be extremely grateful.
