Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the virtual London Marathon AGAIN 😬 for this amazing charity not only to raise money to help but also to massively spread awareness of of Kawasaki Disease.

Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the Uk.

Progress in understanding Kawasaki Disease has been severely hampered by poor levels of awareness, a lack of investment and a lack of essential research in the UK. Kawasaki Disease is a medical emergency and we are working to get it recognised!

This year didn’t start the best for myself suffering from covid quite badly and being out of work and laid up for 10 weeks and the support I got was amazing, now I want to give support to others that need it so decided to take this task on again and help spread awareness and raise money to help these little hearts ❤️

I know it’s a tough time for everyone and we are all feeling the pinch so any donation is massively appreciated and thank you all for taking time to visit my page 🙌🏻

About the charity

Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the UK and the western world. It's time we changed that. We have an enormous task to do. But we are going to do it. TOGETHER we will. Join us and help us protect tiny hearts. You can make a difference. Awareness of this often pernicious disease is currently poor. Slow diagnosis and delayed treatment of Kawasaki Disease can cause serious, life-long health issues. Children affected by Kawasaki Disease have excellent chances of a good recovery with timely diagnosis and the correct treatment. At Societi we know that recognising Kawasaki Disease early is THE transformational opportunity to prevent what can be devastating effects from Kawasaki Disease. Kawasaki Disease has lots of symptoms in common with other childhood illnesses so it is often misdiagnosed - this means lifelong heart damage for too many children. Each year in the UK there are more cases of Kawasaki Disease than bacterial meningitis! Everyone would spot meningitis and know what to do, because of brilliant awareness raising work by MRT. We need everyone to recognise Kawasaki Disease too.
