In memory of Aneeka
In memory of Aneeka
Can you help Aaron Dodwell to raise funds in memory of his sister? Aneeka is remembered always in the cluster headache community. Here's Aaron's story:
Aaron's story.
I'm raising £800 to support the family of Andy McGuinness and to raise money for cluster headache awareness.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday October 5th I'll be running my first ever marathon in Chester. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I want to raise money for two reasons, I lost my sister 8 years ago she suffered with mental health and depression but she also suffered with cluster headaches. These headaches are called suicide headaches, the pain is absolutely horrific and eventually it gets too much to live with, I just want to raise more awareness.
I also want to raise money for the family of Andy McGuinness. Andy passed away on September 4th after a couragous battle in hospital. This was devastating for the family, a lad who had a passion for fitness, walking, hiking, running, swimming and cycling would make this marathon look easy, after all he was Mr Ironman. "Andy's dad, Paul, has asked that the money I raise will be donated to charities that are close to their family's heart, in Andy's memory." This will include Hafod ( mental health ) the ambulance service and the police. I also want them to keep some money to help with funeral arrangements but again this is up to the family.
When I lost my sister, Paul and his family were always there for me, I struggled with mental health and gambling at the time and Paul was always there to help me when I needed it, I will never forget that and I just want to give something back now.
Thank you for reading my story. If you can donate anything it would mean the world to me.
Time to get my running trainers on and I'll run my heart out.
