The condition has many expressions, some of which can lead to medical complexities

Story

Hi Folks,

Challenge time is upon me!  In October 2011, I will be climbing the 19340ft Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa for my friend's charity 'Caring Matters Now'.

This charity is for people who suffer from Congenital Melanocytic Naevus.  My friend Jodi, was the first person to be born with this in the UK.

She has been through many operations over the past 30 years, until a doctor at Great Ormond Street hospital finally diagnosed what the condition was.  Jodi wanted to help others who suffered from this condition and has set up her own support group for over 200 families who suffer from CMN in the UK and must raise £45,000 a year for medical research at GOSH.

To find out more about CMN please visit the website at:

I have to raise £2,430 by Dec 2011 and would really appreciate your support if you could please sponsor me. I have paid personally for my own trip, so all money raised will go directly to CMN.  If you choose to sponsor me, please do not forget to gift aid your donation.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
