My daughter Joanna and I are going to spend 10 days cycling 420 miles across Vietnam in memory of Thomas (Tom), my son, to raise money for The MPS Society and Helen House respectively. We need your help and support, so please give what ever you feel you can. Every little helps!! Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page, this has been set up in advance of my Vietnam cycle challenge in October 2011 in memory of Thomas and to raise money for The MPS Society. Thomas was born with a rare hereditary disease called Hurlers disease which is part of a group of illnesses named Mucoploysaccharide which disabled him and shortened his life to just 12 years. If you would like to know more about the MPS Society you might to look at the information to the left of this page and visit their web site We were one of the first families to be supported by the MPS Society, as the charity had only been established some months before Thomas’s diagnosis. We were not only supported directly by the organisation but also benefited from meeting other families and were therefore able to share knowledge and support and it was a great help to the whole family. Its main aims are to:- So I am asking you to help me raise as much money as possible to help make it possible for other families like ours to benefit from the support that helped us so much, during Thomas’s short life. Thank You
