James Lamyman is running the London Marathon
My Page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/JamesLamyman
Those who know me well know I'm not really a runner, never have been. So why do i find myself running the Marathon? We'll that's for my friend Kemal, his family and others like them supported by the great work at CHASE Hospice.
A couple of years ago Kemal and Sony had a baby daughter, Leyla. Leyla has a metabolic condition called mitochondrial disease and is severely affected. She has seizures, visual impairment, cannot feed orally and cannot communicate or walk. There is no treatment or cure. I urge you to read Kemal's blog http://leylasdad.blogspot.com to learn more.
Families shouldn't have to experience such difficulties, but its a sad fact of life that they do. This is where CHASE comes in offering support and respite at their Hospice.
Everyone has a reason for running the Marathon. I have mine.
Thanks for visiting.
