Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

My first wife, Pat, passed away at the age of 52, after suffering for a long time from severe emphysema brought on by alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency.  Our two children have both been tested and have been found to have the same genetic abnormality which causes the deficiency, so I am keen to raise funding to help improve understanding of the condition  . 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Alpha 1 Awareness UK 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 me now!
