My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was diagnosed with perthes at the age of six. My mum and dad had never heard of this disease and were relieved to stumble upon the Perthes Association. They were incredibly informative and helped us all through a very hard time, both by reassuring words and even letting us borrow a pushchair! Eventually, after a long and painful but nontheless lucky four years, I was cleared - free at last! We still recieve a newsletter from the charity every three months and the plights of the unfortunate people who have to go through an operation stay on my mind. The years have passed and few people know of my previous disability. Now I feel it's time to help the people who helped me so much, so please send a donation!
