Story
Hi Everyone,
I hope all is well. I am running this year's HBF with a Team supporting Colt, Jem and Brant who unfortunately have been diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease (KD). KD is a relatively uncommon illness that effects children under the age of 5. & not knowing much about it, I've done some research.
In short, it's a heart condition that involves a high level of management and intervention and it restricts a kid's ability to play/ run/jump - so as I am running, I'll be thinking of the kids that can't and I'm hoping you'll help me raise some money to put a smile on their face.
Thanks a mill,
Karl.
