This site is a tribute to Jackie Pickford. Jackie leaves her sister Lyndsey, mother Edna Gill and husband Ian.

She is much loved and will always be remembered by her family and many friends.

Multiple System Atrophy is a rare disease, without any currently know cause or cure.  It's a cruel condition which may affect anything from speech to swallowing; from bladder to bowels; from breathing to blood-pressure.  No one has the same journey; however, sadly, the destination is assured.  That journey, however hard, can be endured, it can be full of love and joy, it can be one of passion and pleasure; it can encompass treats and travel.  One can live with, rather than suffer from, MSA.  

The Multiple System Atrophy Trust has helped Jackie and Ian on that joyous journey and any contribution to the Trust to help their valuable work in research and supporting others on their personal journey, will be very gratefully received.
