Story

I will be attempting to complete this challenge in order to raise money for 'The Gauchers Association' which  was formed in 1991 to meet the needs of those suffering from Gaucher disease. It provides information about Gaucher disease to families and medical advisors. It encourages and raises funds for medical research.

Gaucher Disease is an autosomal recessive disease and the most common Lysosomal Storage Disorder. It is caused by deficiency of a specific enzyme in the body, caused by a genetic mutation received from both parents.

Since 1991, The Gauchers Association has been active in promoting awareness and research, providing general and specific information - including keeping our members up-to-date on the latest research developments, and perhaps most importantly, establishing a support network for those affected by Gaucher disease.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page, I hope your able to support this worthwhile cause. Please donate what you can.
