<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.&nbsp; Please sponsor me to run the New York Marathon on 6 November 2011!</p> <p>Sharon and I have been affected by a recessive gene metabolic syndrome ourselves and received fantastic assistance.&nbsp; It has had a very significant impact on our lives and I would like to do whatever I can to assist others in a similar or worse situation than us.&nbsp; We now have a beautiful, healthy baby girl - Chloe - who has made our difficult periods fade.&nbsp; I would urge others in a similar situation to stick together and not to give up hope.</p> <p>The Charity Children Living with Inherited Metabolic Diseases (Climb) <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">are a national organisation working on behalf of children, young people, adults and families affected by metabolic disease. The National Information Centre for Metabolic Diseases is part of the Climb Group.&nbsp; Climb (Children Living with Inherited Metabolic Diseases) is the United Kingdom's foremost provider of free metabolic disease information to young people, adults, families, professionals and other interested groups.</span></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
