100 days of 5k running · 14 December 2024

The MPS Society provides specialist support to children, adults and families in the UK who are affected by MPS, Fabry and related lysosomal storage diseases and we fund research into treatment and therapies. These diseases are rare, genetic, life-limiting conditions with no cure.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm raising money and awareness for MPS2 (Hunter Syndrome), a rare and life-threatening genetic disorder that affects my 2-year-old son, Louis. He has recently undergone a bone marrow transplant, donated by his sister Olivia, which is his best chance to live beyond his teenage years.

To support Louis and other families impacted by MPS2, I am running 5km every day for 100 days.

MPS2 is a rare condition that affects just 1 in 100,000 to 150,000 males. It occurs when the body lacks an enzyme needed to break down complex sugars, leading to severe health issues, including organ damage, developmental delays, and mobility challenges. The impact on families is profound, as the disease requires constant medical care, specialised treatment, and long-term support.

Please donate to help us raise awareness, support medical research, and give hope to families like ours.
