My story
Damon Elson, Andy Day William Harrison, Tom Campbell, Rob Platt, Ben Moore, Ben Philipp and I decided to do our bit for charity. A charity that has always been close to my heart is the MPS Society that helps thousands of people thoughout the world who suffer from mucopolysaccharide diseases, very rare conditions.
I suffer from MPS II or Hunters Syndrome, so I was inspired to do my bit to support the charity to repay them for the help that they have given me and to give other children, with similar conditions to me, the chance to have the best opportunity of living a normal life.
Your donations will help the charity in many ways, these include:
- to provide support to individuals affected by Mucopolysaccharide and related diseases, their families and the professionals who care for them
- to increase awareness of Mucopolysaccharide and related diseases amongst health care, social care and education professionals
- to extend this to the community at large to secure improved local services and inclusion for affected children and adults and their families
- to raise funds for research into Mucopolysaccharide and related diseases that may lead to improved clinical care, quality or life and new therapies.
This is a very worthy cause that are providing people like me with a better shot at life through Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) (of Elaprase® for MPS II and Aldurazyme® for MPS I) and Bone Marrow Transplants etc.
Please do donate and make a difference to someone's life, by doing so there can be "Care today" for sufferers and "Hope Tomorrow" for their future.
(If unsure about whether to donate, please visit the MPS Society website for additional information - http://mpssociety.co.uk/)
