Story

The Cumbria Way Ultra is a 73 mile trail ultra race which passes through the varied terrain of the beautiful Lake District, giving over 10,000 feet of ascent. - going from Ulverston in the south to Carlisle Castle.

I am trying to fundraiser for a charity called NSPKU. 

Molly my 13 year old daughter has a condition known as PKU. It basically means she cannot process protein and has been from birth on a very restricted diet. She has never had the delight of eating meat, fish, dairy foods, normal bread and pastries. Lots of her food is made on prescription without protein.  Every school day has been a packed lunch day and going to friends houses / parties means a packed lunch. There is at the moment no cure for this condition and if the diet is not adhered to can cause severe brain damage. So I am using this event to try and raise funds for the mostly unknown cause. 

NSPKU is the charity which helps sufferers and work to find a cure.

Thank you very much for reading and for your donation.
