HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR LITTLE LIAM

My little nephew was born on 8th October 2007 a healthy 9lbs 1oz at the Princess Royal. When he was 2 weeks old he started to develop ltttle white blisters on his hands, we thought it was eczemea but it got a lot worse and at three months it had spread to his feet with very sore blisters and some of his little toenails had fallen off. He was then reffered to Yorkhill Hospital where they did blood tests and these blood tests had to be forwared on to Gt Ormond St hospital in London for testing, the doctors think he may have a rare skin disorder called Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). The results of his blood could take up to 2 years as the doctors have to break down each blood cell, so in the meantime Liam has to get each blister burst with a sterlie needle to stop spread of infection and has have lots of different creams and bandages applied each day.

If you know little Liam then you will know how happy and contented he is and always has a smile for you. Even when he is getting all his blisters burst and lots of creams on.

If you have not meet Liam yet just look at his little smiling face on my page.

Lots of children suffer from this skin disorder,some worse than others if we can help raise funds for doctors to research into gene therapy, we may be able to help lots of children and their families.

So now my son Sean (9 years) and i have decided to do the 5k on October 4th 2008.
