Catherine's Big Beach Clean for the MPS Society

Catherine Beach Clean is raising money for The Society For Mucopolysaccharide Diseases (The MPS Society)

Catherine's Beach Cleaning · 5 February 2021

The MPS Society provides specialist support to children, adults and families in the UK who are affected by MPS, Fabry and related lysosomal storage diseases and we fund research into treatment and therapies. These diseases are rare, genetic, life-limiting conditions with no cure.

Story

Hello! I’m a volunteer beach cleaner and have been doing clean ups around the coast for a few years now. Since the pandemic began, I have stepped up my efforts and have been carrying out a series of beach cleans in my local area during lockdown. My hope is to raise awareness of MPS related conditions while also highlighting the impact plastic pollution has on our coastlines and wildlife habitats.

I'm raising money for the MPS Society UK who have helped me, my family and many other families through some tough times. Your contribution will make an impact. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support. I've included information about MPS Society UK below. 

Mucopolysaccharide (MPS) are a family of rare, life limiting lysosomal storage disorders that can affect both children and adults. 

The MPS Society UK provides a needs-led advocacy support service for those affected, raising awareness and funding research into treatment of these diseases. We work closely with leading scientists and medical professionals as well as collaboratively with a number of other organisations and international MPS Societies.
