Why I support Andrea’s Gift

 

Whilst I now live in Surrey I do have a strong connection with Yorkshire.   My husband is the famous professional golfer, author and the world's best known TV golf commentator, Peter Alliss and for a number of years we lived in Leeds as Peter was the golf professional at the renowned Moor Allerton Golf Club.

 

I was delighted to become a Patron and get involved with Andrea’s Gift as it is a charity that looks to provide two key services for its supporters – research and patient/carer support. 

 

Through painful and personal experience, I understand the level of support which is needed when you are caring for someone you love who has an incurable neurological condition. 

 

Andrea’s Gift is developing a comprehensive support network that is designed to help patients and carers as they try to make sense of the diagnosis and situation they find themselves in.  There is also a structure in place that provides support and friendship for those who have lost someone they love to this awful disease.
