On 10th May 2015 my best friend Gilly did a 10k run in my honour and at the same time made hundreds of pounds for IIH UK how support me and others with idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.
I don't think I can ever tell Gilly how much this meant to me as she took time to learn about IIH, told everyone about her run raising a lot of awareness of IIH, spent a lot of time training as well as looking after her little one and still having time for me who could no longer get out to visit her.
Throughout the run Gilly held on to a squashy IIH UK brain to get her through the pain barrier and she held it up to any TV camera she saw. She says any pain she felt during that time was worth it when she knows people with IIH suffer every day.
I am so lucky to have her.
