The Hypermobility Syndromes Association
(UK, 1011063) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,813.21The HMSA aims to provide support and information to those affected by a Hypermobility Syndrome and to promote knowledge and understanding within the medical community and the public at large. We hope to assist sufferers to come to terms with their HMS and the distress that it can cause. The severity of the effects of a Hypermobility Syndrome varies with the individual: some have few symptoms others are severely affected. Hypermobility Syndromes are generally 'invisible illnesses' and because of this we can look well to the outside world but are often in severe pain. Moreover the nature of hypermobile joints combined with frail tissues means that we are prone to injury when performing simple everyday tasks. This opens us to skepticism, particularly by those in the medical profession who know little about HMS. The pain, stress and frustration can lead to depression: thus depression can often be mistaken as the cause of the illness, not a result of it.

Keeping Abreast
(UK, 1129522) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,594.43About Us... Keeping Abreast was established in September 2007 by patients Anna Beckingham and Beverley Birritteri and Breast Reconstruction nurse specialist Ruth Harcourt. They recognised there is a great need for women, both newly diagnosed with breast cancer facing the possibility of mastectomy, and also women further down the line who are also considering reconstructive surgery, to be able to meet and talk to other women who have been through similar experiences. Who attends? Meetings are held every other month and are open to women who are considering either immediate or delayed breast reconstruction. They are also attended by women who have already had surgery and those at various stages of econstruction, including nipple reconstruction and related procedures. Many of those attending are happy to speak openly of their experiences and show the results of their surgery. You are welcome to bring along a friend, husband or partner for support. Light refreshments are provided. What are the meetings about? Although the plastic surgeon will have explained all the details of the surgery it can often be very difficult to absorb the information and formulate the questions you may want to ask. Many women have said they feel more at ease when they are able to ask questions and express their concerns to another woman. We aim to have a different speaker at each support group meeting covering topics both directly related to breast reconstruction and also covering areas of general wellbeing. We also aim to proactively fundraise to support women post operatively through their recovery. Where are the meetings held? There are currently support groups in Norwich, Kings Lynn, Bristol, East Grinstead and Norfolk-based "Nick of Time". Within the Norfolk area there are also a number of outreach groups - Wymondham, Cromer, Stalham and more to follow!
