Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Zachariah is running again!!!

But wait…… this time for 2 charities!!!

Kawasaki’s Society and Welbodi Partnership.

Why Kawasaki’s disease?

His first buddy at nursery, was diagnosed but way too late to prevent complications. They’re both now in year 2 together. This society raises awareness of this disease and does research to prevent late diagnosis and treatment. Zachariah enjoys running and playing and wants to make sure other boys n girls like him can continue to play, grow, develop and enjoy what they do without being poorly. Thanks for joining us in preventing further disease


Why Welbodi Partnership

to raise money for Salone children and the Ola During Children’s Hospital

Zachariah’s also running to raise money for the Welbodi Partnership that is currently saving the lives of Children in Sierra Leone (Salone). These children have suffered the most no matter what goes on around the world. The more you give, the more the impact on a child's life. Every child is born with great potential, their dreams can be big, but limited/cut short because of poor health care. Please find it in your heart to do something  - give something you might miss for a day, a week, a month... but will have lifelong impact on a child's life. remember the only difference between us is where we are born, grow up and what is deposited in us...

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

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.
