On 24th February, I will be taking part in the Winchester 10k Road Race for the very first time on behalf of "Harvey & the Brave Little Soldiers"!
My main motivation is in aid of a fantastic cause, supporting HBLS to raise funding for Niemann-Pick UK which is a charity very close to my family's heart as my Sister-in-Law's Nephew was diagnosed with NP-C a couple of years ago.
Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NP-C) is a very rare, neurodegenrative disease cause by an accumulation of lipids (fats) in the liver, spleen and brain. A child with NP-C will often experience quick and progressive mental and physical deterioration over the course of several years - similar to that of Alzheimer's disease, which is why it is often referred to as "childhood Alzheimer's".
To help fund the research required to cure this horrible disease, and to support the children and families, any donation no matter how big or small is greatly appreciated.
For more information, please visit our Facebook page for Harvey & the Brave Little Soldiers or Niemann-Pick UK Website.
