Story
On October 8 a team of friends, family and colleagues of a wonderful young woman, Lucy Dawson, will hike up Mount Snowdon in her memory to raise funds for HistioUK. It’s the only charity that backs research into a little-known condition called HLH and supports the families of those who have lost loved ones to this awful condition.
HLH is an abbreviation of a long name that no one can pronounce (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, if you want to have a go). It affects just 1 in 1.25million people when the body’s immune system goes into overdrive after what can be any normal infection. Basically, after anti-bodies have fought off the nasties they just don’t stop and they start fighting anything they can find, eventually attacking healthy organs.
Lucy was just 24 and a healthy, beautiful, talented, funny young woman working her dream job in the hospitality and events team at MK Dons football club.
Lucy passed away from HLH on May 24th
Please, please give anything you can to help HistioUK raise awareness, back research and support families. Anything you can donate is welcome.
Thank you for your support 💗
