REACHING OUT FOR SUPPORT….
It is very humbling and tender to reach out like this…
I am reaching out to our community of friends and people we have worked with and everyone / anyone who has been touched by my beloved Pete Warnock’s warmth, humour, wisdom or work. Because the pain he has carried for most of his life has now reached a point where his strength alone is no longer enough.
I have set up a go fund me to help support Pete because what most people don’t see is that he lives with constant, relentless pain, every single moment.
He continues to show up to the world with courage and generosity, but behind closed doors he is struggling more than ever before and we cannot manage this without real help.
Pete has lived with chronic pain for as long as he can remember. Since the age of five, following multiple injuries and traumatic events, his body has held tension and trauma in ways that most people never see.
Day to day Pete’s symptoms have been becoming increasingly stronger and this past year things have taken a drastic turn. His body pain has become unbearable, he often describes it as “a knife constantly twisting, stabbing and tearing in different places.” The pain and bloating in his digestive system has never responded to any treatment nor diet - not even a 30 day water fast. Some of his muscles no longer release at all, they are like steel cables locked in place creating burning and tearing like pains in his buttocks, hip, sacrum, all the way up the right hands side of his spine between his shoulder blades, up into his neck and into his head. Recently he was told through another scan that he has a 6cm cyst in his kidney. In the privacy of our home, his energy fades and his resilience, although extraordinary, is wearing thin. You would not witness this when he is out and about as he has incredible resolve and shows very little of his pain to the world. He has to keep moving on the go all of the time, stopping in any one position brings cramping. And also movement often exacerbates his pain. So neither rest nor exercise provide respite.
For over five decades he has managed it with hundreds of different treatments, awareness, humour, compassion, some really crazy practices and sheer inner strength.
He experiences frightening neurological episodes especially at night. As he falls asleep, intense internal spasms and waves off collapse move through his body again and again, sometimes dozens of times in one night. They leave him exhausted, shaken and unable to rest.
He barely sleeps. His energy is fading. His resilience which has carried him for over 50 years of chronic pain is wearing thin.
The hardest part is that he hides it incredibly well. When he is out in the world, you may not see any of this. At home, I see how much he is struggling just to get through each day.
We urgently need comprehensive private medical investigation, full spine MRI, neurological assessments, advanced testing because the NHS simply hasn’t been able to go deep enough.
We cannot continue like this without answers and support in healing..
It’s incredibly vulnerable to ask, but I have created a go fund me to cover the cost of proper diagnostics and specialist care.
If Pete has ever supported you, inspired you, worked with you, or made you laugh , please consider contributing or sharing this go fund me.
Every share truly matters.
