Raising money for

Histiocytosis Research Trust

Charity Registration No. 1004546

The main aim of the Histiocytosis Research Trust is to fund research and scientific study into the causes of Histiocytosis and the development of improved means for diagnosis and treatment. We also aim to provide information and support to families affected by Histiocytosis. We offer services such as our UK Family Roadshow Meetings (led by an expert or experts in LCH/HLH) and our Befriending Scheme where families can be matched to share experiences. We are therefore extremeley grateful for any contribution you are able to make.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Our 3 year old grandson, Liam, was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) in Jan 2008, having had a skin rash for nearly a year. He has multisystem, risk organ involvement LCH. Liam had two inductions and is now in the maintenance stage of chemotherapy with steroids.

His elderly and infirm grandparents plan to raise money for the Research Trust (and celebrate Denise's 60th birthday) by walking 200 kms along the pilgrimage route in Spain to Santiago de Compostela at the end of April.
Everybody we have told about this plan has laughed, including our children, and that's one reason we are asking for money up front. If one of us doesn't come back there will be no refunds...

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Histiocytosis Research Trust 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!
