Story

As many of my close family and friends know 2 of my greatest fears are flying and heights.. so will be very shocked to learn that in July I have decided I am going to throw myself out of a plane from 15,000 feet. I am doing this to help raise awareness of vlcad in Jack Riley Linfords name. this is a cause I hold very close to my heart and I hope everyone will get behind us to help raise awareness and raise funds for such a worthy cause. Thank you in advance from a very nervous kirsty. :-(

On September 29th 2014, a beautiful little cheeky monkey lost his life due a battle against a rare metabolic condition called VLCAD.
VLCAD prevents the body from converting fats into energy especially in fasting periods. Jack came down with a sickness bug and within hours he was too weak to fight anymore.
I am campaigning to help Laura & Simon raise awareness on how serious and quickly it can cause problems especially on children too young to tell you they don't feel well.
Please sign dig deep and share amongst others to keep this little boys memory going.
You can find out more info and follow the story on The Linford Family's facebook page
