Hopefully a few laughs was the tag line – and well, more than a few occurred! I had a great time at this event last night, never thought I’d see Katherine Ryan and Nish Kumar, let alone for a PDA fundraiser.
Everyone was really great, absolutely hilarious. Ed and Asha (?) gave a really moving introduction speech highlighting the importance of PDAers receiving needed support – Asha in particular did great!
The highlight of my evening though, was getting a chance to talk to Ed, and be invited to take part in some participatory research. I adore the PDA society, they fight for us with the energy of a thousand suns, and I’m behind everything they stand for.
At the beginning of the night, an amazing £21k had been raised, funding three months of their helpline – which has provided me with invaluable support repeatedly since 2021, including securing me an assessment when communication broke down with Dr Gloria Dura Vila’s team during an mania.
A brilliant start to my birthday month!
