Please help Luke raise funds!

Please sponsor Luke Trotter (pictured below, with his mum, Jilly), who is running the Paris Marathon to raise funds to help raise awareness of PMR. You can sponsor him by going to his Virgin Money page:

uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Lu...

Luke told us: "My mum, Jilly, was diagnosed with PMR in July 2012 after over 2 years of being misdiagnosed by doctors. She had been sent to a range of consultants across Sussex who didn't recognise her symptoms because of the lack of information available to them. My family were worried she might have a serious degenerative condition as she could barely walk upstairs and had extreme difficulty in getting out of bed. PMR was overlooked at this stage as she was considered to be "too young" at 55 to be suffering from this.

I'm running the Paris Marathon on Sunday 12 April to raise awareness of PMR and GCA. Please donate whatever you can to help PMRGCAuk fund practical and emotional support to sufferers, and to support further research into preventing these debilitating conditions".

Please do all you can to support him!

Thank you! We really appreciate it and will pass this on to Luke. We've had a few wonderful fundraisers in the past but no one has run for us in Paris before!
