<p><span style="color: #800080;">In September I will be embarking on a walk up Mt. Snowdon in Wales.&nbsp; This may not seem like a massive challenge to some but I am doing it in order to raise money for the Sturge Weber Foundation.&nbsp; I am also doing it to help raise awareness of Sturge Weber, a neurological disease that effects 1 in 50,000 people.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">My twin brother, Alex, was born with this disease and at the early age of 4 years old had to have a hemispherectomy. Sturge Weber syndrome results in calcium building up on the brain as a result of lack of blood flow and this operation is a mesaure which is taken to prevent the spread of the calcium to the other side of the brain.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">Thankfully, Alex made a wonderful recovery and only suffers from mild Cerebal Palsy.&nbsp; Some children are not as lucky and the condition can be far worse.&nbsp; It is a hard time for many families and the more awareness and money we can raise, the better.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">For more information on Sturge Weber please visit <a href="http://www.sturgeweber.org">http://www.sturgeweber.org</a> or feel free to ask me =)</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">I would be very grateful for any donations you can affoord to make - be in 50p or &pound;50 every little helps!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">Thankyou for taking the time to read my plea and thank you for any donations xxx</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">PS: If anyone is interested in doing this walk with me, please get in touch!
