Story

Get ready for an adrenaline-packed adventure and a heart-pounding mission! I'm gearing up to take the plunge – quite literally – with a daring skydiving expedition. But here's the twist: this isn't just about the thrill; it's about facing fears head-on to support the Mikaere Foundation for Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia (NKH).In the midst of the exhilarating free fall, I'm taking this leap to bring attention to the courageous journey of Sam, Elly, and their little hero, Mikaere. NKH is a rare and daunting metabolic disorder, causing seizures and developmental challenges due to the inability to process glycine. It's a battle against time, and every moment is invaluable.Your support fuels not only the skydiving adventure but also the vital NKH research led by Dr. Nick Greene at UCL. Let's transform the fear of the unknown into a powerful force for change. Together, we can make every heart-stopping moment in the sky a step closer to a cure for NKH.
