Mini and Junior Great Manchester Run · 15 May 2010
Hi, my name is Sam and on Saturday 15th May I am taking on a HUGE challenge - the mini Great Manchester Run. As many of you know I have a metabolic brain disorder that restricts my brain growth and function. At times it is even a struggle for me to walk across the room!! But I am determined to succeed with my mummy, my Aunty Rie and my cousin Emily to help me! Glut 1 D.S. is a very rare condition - only about 10 people in the UK have been diagnosed - but I know that there are children who have been misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. MY MISSION is not only to raise money but more importantly to raise awareness of this condition to help other children like myself. http://www.glut1ds.com I also want to raise as much money as possible for the Willink (biochemical genetics unit) at Manchester Children's Hospital. Every few months I have to go to the Willink to be checked out and to help me with my special diet that makes my brain work. I like the hospital because it is BIG and has lots of toys!! Please help me raise lots of money so that they can help more boys and girls like me. Without their help my brain would always be fuzzy and I would not even be able to stand up never mind take part in a run. Big hugs and a special Sam kiss xxx Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
