Jamie George Heard hasn't added a story.
Hi everyone, I know this is a rather long status but can you please all take the time to read it. As some of you may know my wife Alison Heard had a life threatening illness, meningococcal meningitis, which causes the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord to become inflamed and leaves many patients with things like learning difficulties and deafness due to damage to the brain. She also contracted septicaemia. 50% of people diagnosed with these two infections combined actually die so Alison is extremely lucky but is still left facing many problems. Nerve damage causes numbness in her face, pressure behind the eyes and severe headaches as well as a variety of problems with the cognitive functioning of the brain. It has been over a year now and Alison is still struggling with day to day living but tries to stay strong for her family and our son. After quite a lot of research we have discovered that there are specialist treatments which could improve these symptoms dramatically and that help many patients improve their quality of life.
People say that there are not many genuinely nice people in this world who would go out of their way to help others. I disagree! Jamie Waltham has kindly offered to host a charity boxing event to help raise funds for Alison's treatment and we are relying on friends and family to share this status and help us to support the event. This treatment will be life changing so please help me to spread the word and offer your support.
The event will be in around 12 weeks time but dates will be confirmed at a later date I am also looking for 12 people to volunteer to fight on the night so please get in touch and donate all you can.
Many thanks
Jamie and Xavier
