Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are raising money for Evelina Children's Hospital part of Guys and St Thomas'. Funds will be specifically directed to support metabolic conditions including research into these conditions and facilities at the hospital to support patients and their families who are so dependent on their services.

We often refer to our 'metabolism' when we are discussing weight etc but have you ever considered that there are a whole host of metabolic conditions that you never even considered existed? Just one example for you – imagine that you have a single mutated gene which means your body cannot get rid of the excess protein you consume? What would happen? Your body would become poisoned with the extra waste that it cannot excrete through urine – something we all take for granted with our own bodies. Like this, there are many unusual and even shocking conditions that we do not come across everyday or even once in a lifetime. WE have however had a first hand encounter with a dear loved one and are now exposed to a whole new world where every drop of milk that is consumed has to be calculated to a T just to avoid a protein overdose, the outcome of which can impact on the brain. 

We are very thankful for the care we have received through the NHS to date. However there's always scope to do more, subject to funds. Research into the nature of such rare conditions and raising awareness within the medical profession is key to diagnosing and saving lives. Not forgetting the here and now, support for patients and their families coming to terms with such a condition and being hospitalised for long periods of time or frequently.

That's where YOU come in. WE have set ourselves many a fundraising challenge in the hope that with your support we can reach our goal of £50k. As you can imagine we cannot do this without YOUR VALUED SUPPORT. If you would consider making a donation to our cause we would be most grateful. You can either make a general donation or keep an eye out and follow us on our journey whilst we put ourselves in challenging situations and some enjoyable events to raise these funds. Please do expect to hear from us on more than one occasion as we update you about our triumphs and upcoming events.
