Story

<p>Hi there,</p> <p>I'm one of a small but growing number of scientists around the world involved in research into the orphan disease Alkaptonuria. Currently there is no cure, and until relatively recently very little help or information for those unfortunate enough to suffer from this illness.</p> <p>I am running the London 10k on the 10th July, 2011 with a few other fellow scientists and people affected by this disease, with the hope of raising money to fund further research into finding a cure for Alkaptonuria.</p> <p>Please help us change the future for those with Alkaptonuria!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
