Amend
Donation protected
On Tuesday we lost our beautiful sister. We have decided as a family to raise funds for a very important charity called Amend rather then receiving flowers.
Emma suffered form an illness called multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndromes are inherited disorders – This means that they can be passed down in families, with each child of an affected parent having a 1 in 2 or 50% risk of inheritance.
MEN disorders cause more than one gland of the body’s endocrine (gland) system to develop growths (tumours). The affected glands then produce abnormally increased amounts of hormones, the body’s chemical messengers, which in turn cause a variety of different symptoms.
Raising money will allow for further research into this illness and could help us as a family and many others around the world. If anybody would like any further information on this condition I have attached the website in a link.
We have set a £1000 goal although any amount raised will be very greatful.
