Childrens Liver Disease Foundation-London to Paris · 11 May 2009

We have merged with British Liver Trust to support all affected by liver disease.

Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. This page is dedicated to Hannah who was born with a liver condition called Biliary Atresia. The Children's Liver Disease Foundation support and help families and children through very tough times as well as helping fund research into these very rare conditions. While Hannah was undergoing her surgery we were very appreciative of the information and support offered and so have decided to raise money to help support them in the fight to understand these rare conditions. A small group of us decided to go it alone on this adventure and are going to pedal our way from Big Ben to the Eiffel Tower (This will require about 120km per day)!!

25 years ago babies like Hannah with biliary atresia sadly would not have survived.  Thanks to research, much funded by CLDF and campaigning by CLDF to ensure children have surgery at specialist units and get the best care, the situation is completely different and we can expect a 95% survival rate for biliary atresia.  This is an amazing change in just ¼ of a century.  But we still have no idea why biliary atresia happens, so CLDF’s research programme is vital so we can get answers and stamp out diseases like biliary atresia.  There will be 60 babies born with biliary atresia each year in the , we want to make sure that all the future families can get help from the CLDF support team, receive information packs and get the essential biliary atresia leaflet, which explains everything.   CLDF needs everyone’s help

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Children's Liver Disease Foundation gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support!
