Rubys Story - Tough Days 16’
Besides the frustration of not having answers for 10 months, the hardest part has been slowly losing myself. Every glance in the mirror I can barely recognise myself. Day by day I slowly deteriorate not just physically, but mentally too. I am mentally drained as I watch the arm of my watch slowly tick over the hours of my days. It becomes more and more of a struggle to keep reassuring myself that one day I'll be a normal healthy person.
What are we fundraising for?
A PHD scholarship for a student at Auckland Bioengineering Institute. Their studies will involve development of a tailored Endoscope that can map the stomach’s activity to better help in the diagnosis of Stomach disorders.
