Brittany is a sweet, strong, determined young lady with a passion for life and for serving God. She is a former gymnast & was a top 10 pole vaulter at the US College National Championships – a lady who has been used to living life to the max. She loves rock climbing, hiking and generally anything that's adventurous and outdoors.
In August 2009 (shortly after she and Javed were married) she was diagnosed with a number of strains of Lyme Disease and 2 co-infections (Erlychia and Babesia). Lyme Disease is a tick-borne infection with a spiral-shaped bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi. Since 2009, Brittany has had extensive treatment in the USA and UK but she is still virtually housebound and has many very painful symptoms including heart palpitations, chest pain, extreme fatigue and fevers. |

Recently Brittany and Javed found out about a clinic in Reno, Nevada which has been instrumental in the recovery from Lyme Disease of a friend's mother. Having done lengthy investigation into the treatments and the track record of the clinic as well as spending a long time praying about it, they have decided to head out to Reno for Brittany to be treated there.
Due to the cost of this treatment (estimated at £30,000 ($47,000)) and the fact that paying for past treatments has depleted their savings, Javed and Brittany are raising money to make it possible for Brittany to go to Reno to receive this treatment.
