Story

Thank you for visiting my page and helping me on my journey over the next 6 months to raise awareness and support for the amazing work of the NAC.

To celebrate and commemorate my amazing Dad who sadly passed away from systemic Amyloidosis 10yrs ago on 21st March 2014, I am pushing myself to the limit and keeping each part of the process closely linked to his way of life and a few personal things that will stay with me forever, the work of the NAC and RFC is vital for patients and their families.

I will continue to keep this page updated with progress and more information about my campaign, below you can find more information:

Amyloidosis is a rare disease caused by damaging build up of abnormal protein fibres, called amyloid, within the tissues and organs. Amyloidosis can affect any part of the body and lead to life threatening organ failure. It causes the death of about one person in every thousand and there are about 6,000 cases in the UK at any time.

Donations to the Amyloidosis Research Fund within the Royal Free Charity supports the research, development and patients of the UK NHS National Amyloidosis Centre (NAC) at the Royal Free Hospital. The Centre, established in 1999, is funded directly by NHS Specialised Services to provide diagnostic and management advisory services for all UK amyloidosis patients.

Gift Aid supports the Royal Free Charity's full range of vital support services for staff and patients across the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, as well as supporting research and innovation.
