… HEY EVERYONE ! …. Im running the London Marathon THIS ! Sunday … to raise Funds and Awareness for a Wonderful Charity called CLIMB …. heres Why …. I recently discovered that lovely friends of mine, Anna Greenhouse and Stuart Miller, had lost their Beloved Son Jack a few years ago to Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD). This is one of a great many INHERITED METABOLIC DISEASES. As you can see by Jacks story, metabolic diseases are life threatening inheritable, genetic disorders in which errors of metabolism occur, involving a block where a catalyst or enzyme is absent or malfunctioning. This defect results in the build up of chemicals on one side of the metabolic blockage and a deficiency of vital chemicals on the other. This causes an overdose of one or more, often toxic, chemicals and the shortage of others, which are essential to normal body functioning. The consequences of such chemicals are often fatal, leading to either a slow deterioration with progressive physical and mental issues, or to rapid decline and death. CLIMB is a registered Charity which provides information and support to children and their families around all Inherited Metabolic Diseases and also supports Genetic and Other Research into the conditions. As a Parent myself, I was very moved by their story and inspired by the work of CLIMB to apply to run the Marathon to raise funds for this WONDERFUL CHARITY ... Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your Support ... A pledge of ANY amount is very much appreciated (if EVERY one of my FB friends donated just £2, I would Smash my Target) … Please click on the link to donate … THANK YOU X X https://justgiving/Steve-Proctor1
