Story

<p>Hi,</p> <p>On July 10th I will be running 10K through the streets of London for the AKU Society.</p> <p>AKU is a rare genetic disease, (the first&nbsp;one discovered actually). Yet over 100 years after its discovery, there is still no cure and patients receive little help to cope with its effects.</p> <p>The AKU Society aims to change this by promoting awareness of AKU and funding research to understand and treat the disease.&nbsp; This small charity works really hard and needs all the support it can get so please do support them by sponsoring me. For more information about the disease and about the work the society does, please visit:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.alkaptonuria.info/">http://www.alkaptonuria.info/</a></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. And if you're a UK taxpayer please make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on your donation.</p> <p>Thank you so much,</p> <p>Anna x</p>
