Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Greg and I are raising money for research into a cure for Langerhans cell Histiocytosis (LCH).  A close family friend has just been diagnosed with the disease, she has undergone an operation to remove a tumour from her skull and her Doctors are now concerned about one on her leg.  There is no cure for LCH and a cure and support is desperately needed for all sufferers and families of this dibilitating disease.  

LCH is a rare disease, caused by an over production of white blood cells known as histiocytes which can cause organ damage and tumour formation .  It effects 1 in 560,000 people and is therefore known as an orphan disease and receives no government funding for research.

Research is funded solely through donations from individuals so we need your help.  Any donation you make will make a difference. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
