This little-known charity has over 120 people in the Cheshire area suffering from this disease, which can be fatal.

Anyone, any age, male or female, can have MG, which happens when the nerve endings do not connect to the muscles in the body. All muscles can be affected, from walking, laughing or smiling, to eating food and breathing.

There is no cure. But we do raise money for research.

Should you be able to help, then please ring me on 01902 681975.
