Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Daniel, I am 5 years old and I am going to be running with my mammy (if she can keep up) in this year's Mini Great North Run on the 8th September.

I am raising money and awareness for the Williams Syndrome Foundation UK.

Williams Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder  that occurs randomly
and affects around one in 18,000 people in the UK. It is non-hereditary
and causes distinctive facial characteristics and a wide range of learning difficulties. Infants often have delayed development and can develop physical and mental health problems, including anxiety and depression in  later life. All WS people tend to be talkative and excessively friendly towards adults.

My beautiful cousin Isabella will be 8 this October. Almost 3 years ago, in December 2015, she was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome.

Since then, my very brave Auntie Emma and Uncle Philip have been doing lots to raise awareness of William's Syndrome and raising money for the Foundation, who have got them through some very difficult times in the last 3 years.

Now it's my turn to help, I would love it and would be very grateful if you could donate as little or as much as you can to help raise funds for WSF UK as they are a charity very very close to our family's heart.
