base camp everest · 20 May 2008

The MPS Society provides specialist support to children, adults and families in the UK who are affected by MPS, Fabry and related lysosomal storage diseases and we fund research into treatment and therapies. These diseases are rare, genetic, life-limiting conditions with no cure.

Story

We're not sure which is the biggest challenge, trekking to base camp everest or spending 3 weeks sharing a tent without showering and sleeping in -30 temperatures! Not to mention Dad will be going without football and beer for 3 whole weeks! We don't do things by halves and this will be a test beyond any we've faced before, so to ensure we don't go crazy while we're away we've decided to put our time away to good use and raise money for the MPS Society who help a very special little boy. Will has MPS 2 (aka Hunter's Syndrome) a serious genetic disorder that primarily affects males. The MPS Society is a voluntary group, which supports over 1200 children and adults suffering from Mucopolysaccharide and Related Lysosomal Storage Diseases, their families, carers and professionals. If you would like to find out more about Will please go to: www.caringbridge.org/europe/willbrodie Thank you in advance for all your support Mel and Nick xx Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Society For Mucopolysaccharide Diseases gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!
