Story

Hello, guess what it is only 6 months till its that time when grab my running shoes and head to London for the marathon. I will be running for the MPS society (http://www.mpssociety.co.uk/) they are a fantastic charity that help many families and children effected by genetic disorders, including my nephew Izzy and his family. They also fund research research into genetic disorders.

Izzy suffers from Hunters Disease (http://mpssociety.co.uk/index.php?page=hunter-disease). Izzy has had a bad year, with his back and infections, but even through this nhe is still the happy loving self. I love my nephew so, so much and proud of the progress he has been making recently, this is due to an enzyme treatment that he is receiving. This treatment has been proven to be very slowing the effects of Hunters down, this treatment has been made possible by charities such as The MPS........

......please help me, help them.

 

Thanks
