The JJeffect team and others are set to walk the full three peak challenge over 12 hours to raise money for a man who needs stem cell treatment.Tom Gielty was diagnosed around four years ago with Progressive supranuclear palsy , which is a rare neurological condition that can cause problems with balance, movement, vision, speech and swallowing.The PSP Association estimates there are around 4,000 people with PSP living in the UK. The life expectancy is around six to eight years.
“That means eight more years of memories, eight more years of time with his family and eight more years to live his life to the fullest as he truly deserves.”The challenge is aiming to raise £10,000 in order to send Tom to Serbia to get the treatment he needs to extend his life expectancy.Anyone who wants to take part are welcome as long as they are physically fit and able to take on the impressive challenge.
