Our Charity
We are raising money for the Perthes Association.
Perthes disease is a potentially crippling disease of the hip which affects children (mainly boys) between the ages of 2 and 15 years. In Perthes disease the blood supply to the growth plate of the bone at the end of the femur (the ball and socket joint of the hip) becomes inadequate. As a result the bone softens and breaks down.
We have chosen this charity as my son, Max, was a Perthes sufferer and spent over 18 months in a wheelchair.
