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

Our aim: Raise £6,000 in 6 weeks

What for? To pay for hosting of our Kawasaki Disease e-learning course on the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) website for two years.

Why? Our Kawasaki Disease e-learning course is critical in helping GPs to recognise Kawasaki Disease which will protect children’s hearts.

What happens without my support?: Without your support, this vital training could disappear.

What can I do? Please donate whatever you are able. Every pound helps! Whether you can give £10 or £1,000, you will be making a difference. You will be protecting children affected by Kawasaki Disease from serious lifelong heart damage.

Every donation counts!

• Just £10 will pay to train at least one GP – who will then know how to spot Kawasaki Disease

• £50 would help train up to 6 GPs – growing awareness and diagnosis expertise

• A donation of £100 could help train 12 GPs – potentially protecting hundreds of children’s hearts
