Story

Im raising money for a local little girl & her family. I will be hiking up & down the 3 highest mountain in england, scotland & wales. blood, sweat & tears no doubt!!!!!!!

Here is their story..........

On the 26th Novemeber 2012 our world was tipped upside down. At just 5 months old our precious princess Ava was diagnosed with LCH, A cancer like condition that requires chemotherapy. About 50 children in the UK develop LCH each year. As a parent, the fact that your child has a serious illness is one of the worst situations that you can be faced with. Throughout our journey we'd like to raise as much as we can.

Langerhan's Cell Histiocytosis in Children

Langerhan's Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease - only about 50 children each year are diagnosed in the UK. Doctors and scientists often call it an 'orphan' disease because it is so rare.

The Histiocytosis Research Trust is dedicated to promoting and funding scientific research into uncovering not only the causes of the histiocytosis diseases, Langerhans' Cell Histiocytosis and Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, but also ensuring early diagnosis, effective treatment and a cure.

The Trust also aims to support patients and their families as well as raise public and professional awareness about histiocytic disorders.

So please dig deep and donate now.
