HANDSTAND - The Appeal for Marshall Janson

One of my friends, Tanja Britz is a keen runner and is currently doing several marathon type events in support for Marshal Janson. For those of you who may not have heard of Marshal, he is from Cornwall and at just 12 months old he was sadly diagnosed the meningococcal strain of meningitis, and septicaemia. This resulted in the amputation of his limbs in order that Doctors could save his life. Marshall now faces a lifetime of rehabilitation while adapting to the use of prosthetic limbs. Because he is so young Marshall will continually require new prosthetic limbs as he grows. To put this in perspective, Marshall will require at least one pair of hands, at least once a year, every year until he is 16. A pair of hands costs £22K. The costs are staggering to consider. Please click on the image below to see Tanja's training blog that she regularly updates whilst she willing pushes herself to extreme limits in order to raise funds for Marshal. I feel tired just reading about what she does! If everyone who looks at this page donated a single solitary £1 coin, and in perspective its so very little to ask, in just 2 years it would cover the current costs of a prosthetic limb.
