Story
Our 8 years old son Urho has suffered from Crohn's disease since the age of 2.
Crohn’s Disease is a debilitating and aggressive form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. It affects around 5 million people worldwide and numbers are increasing, especially in children. Professor John Hermon-Taylor (King’s College London) is an expert in Crohn’s Disease who has been researching its cause for over thirty years. He strongly believes that Crohn’s Disease is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium Avium subspecies Paratuberculosis (MAP) – a distant cousin of Tuberculosis. Professor Hermon-Taylor has invented a new clinical test and a modern therapeutic vaccine against MAP for which he believes holds the best hope of a cure for Crohn’s that there has ever been. The vaccine is currently sitting in a freezer in a research institute, awaiting the funding to take it from the lab to the clinic.
If you want to support this research, we would be grateful if you could donate directly for the Crohn’s MAP vaccine development at King’s College London via the link above. No donation is too small! Every single euro counts and gives hope for a cure for millions Crohn’s sufferers.
Thank you very much for your support!
