With Kawasaki Disease in the spotlight during Covid-19, we URGENTLY need funding so we can continue supporting families, sharing trusted medical advice & getting Kawasaki Disease known! Help us protect children from this devastating disease!

Story

As a family we had no idea what Kawasaki disease was or how serious it can be. My beautiful niece was diagnosed with this at only 3 months old and now has  a life long heart condition as a result.

I’m raising funds for this charity as they provide much needed help and support for  parents and families. By creating awareness - hopefully more children can be treated sooner rather than later to prevent the damage being so severe.

With Kawasaki Disease in the headlines like never before during the Covid-19 pandemic, I am fundraising for Societi Foundation so they can help worried families, anxious parents and people with a history of Kawasaki Disease. You know how important this is to me! I want to help them get trusted FACTS shared quickly to educate doctors and reassure worried mums and dads. As a small charity they are *struggling* to cope. They have no Government funding or grant support at all, are completely reliant on donations and fundraisers. Right now their resources are at an all-time low! Yet their work to protect children from Kawasaki Disease, the #1 cause of acquired heart disease in children, has NEVER been more important. I am fundraising for them so they can: Help worried parents Provide URGENTLY needed awareness info to doctors Share accurate info Get Kawasaki Disease known!Please donate what you can so we can protect tiny hearts! THANK YOU.
