Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Canterbury Half Marathon on Monday 27th August for Kawasaki Fund because it is a disease that, 3 months ago,turned our family upside down.
Kawasaki disease is predominantly a childhood illness but it’s cause is unknown. It is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Awareness is low and often mistaken for other childhood illnesses, leading to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.

This is what happened to our Pippa. At 9 weeks of age she was admitted to hospital with what we thought was a common childhood illness. After 18 days Pippa was transferred to St Mary’s in London with Kawasaki disease. At such a young age Pippa was our miracle baby. The treatment she was given was so harsh but she has battled through everything, at times rewarding us with smiles and laughter. Due to the late diagnosis Pippa has 2 large aneurysms and will now face a totally different lifestyle due to life long heart damage.

Persistent high fever ? THINK Kawasaki Disease. 

Any donation is extremely appreciated and will keep me running through the miles along with my personal reasons for running.
