Story

Hello and welcome to my fundraiser!

My name is Leah, I’m 16, and I’m raising money for the MPS Society UK - a charity that supports individuals and families affected by a rare genetic conditions known as MPS. There are many different types of MPS, however i live with MPS Type VI,

Throughout the month of May I will be trying to raise money for MPS society, even if it’s only a small amount, every little helps! The 15th of May is MPS awareness day, 12th-18th of May is MPS awareness week!

I won’t be running marathons or climbing mountains (those would be a bit tricky from my wheelchair!), but that doesn’t mean I can’t make a difference. I’m going to be doing small things such as, raising awareness for MPS conditions, making posts, and doing blue themed challenges on my Instagram. My Instagram page is : @chronic.warriors.uk!

I am doing this because people with rare conditions like MPS deserve to be seen, supported, and understood. Living with MPS can be tough, physically, emotionally, and socially. But with the right awareness, advocacy, and research, we can improve lives and create a stronger community for those affected by MPS !

If you would like to help raise awareness feel free to take part in my #brighterinblue challenge. More information about how to take part is on my Instagram !

Every share, donation, follow, or message of support helps!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! 💙
