John O'Groats to Lizard Point · 3 February 2021

Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the UK and the western world. It's time we changed that. We have an enormous task to do. But we are going to do it. TOGETHER we will. Join us and help us protect tiny hearts. You can make a difference. Awareness of this often pernicious disease is currently poor. Slow diagnosis and delayed treatment of Kawasaki Disease can cause serious, life-long health issues. Children affected by Kawasaki Disease have excellent chances of a good recovery with timely diagnosis and the correct treatment. At Societi we know that recognising Kawasaki Disease early is THE transformational opportunity to prevent what can be devastating effects from Kawasaki Disease. Kawasaki Disease has lots of symptoms in common with other childhood illnesses so it is often misdiagnosed - this means lifelong heart damage for too many children. Each year in the UK there are more cases of Kawasaki Disease than bacterial meningitis! Everyone would spot meningitis and know what to do, because of brilliant awareness raising work by MRT. We need everyone to recognise Kawasaki Disease too.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Falcon's are a fantastic bunch of lads who have only just started their football journey. Unfortunately Covid-19 has significantly effected this, as it has the world, but we haven't let it stop us. 

We wanted to take this poor situation we all find ourselves in and give something back, whilst also keeping the team fit, active and ensure they have a healthy mind. 

As a team we have taken up the challenge to collectively Walk, Run and Bike from John O'Groats to Lizard Point - 806 miles. 

This is not only to keep the lads fit and focused, but to help raise funds and awareness for Societi - The UK Kawasaki Disease Foundation. https://www.societi.org.uk

This is an amazing cause that has effected a member of our teams family and any support of funds or awareness goes a long way. Catching this disease early is key and ensuring the right knowledge is known is why we have chosen to support this charity.
