CHRISTMAS CHARITY - December 2023 - Genetic Haemochromatosis
Barnes Montessori Nursery’s chosen charity for Christmas 2023 was for Haemochromatosis UK. With the generosity of parents, staff and local businesses the incredible sum of £3,196.05 was raised. Thanks to very generous donations for an Auction, Raffle, Cake Stall and further donations this was possible.
Genetic haemochromatosis (GH) is the UK’s most common genetic condition, directly affecting over 380,000 people. The condition is significantly under-diagnosed. Untreated, the condition can lead to iron overload, where the body is unable to process excess iron.
The body cannot naturally get rid of the extra iron – other than through menstruation in women, and so it gradually accumulates. This extra iron is stored in the organs and soft tissues.
Excess iron is extremely toxic. GH can cause liver disease, cancer, heart disease, chronic tiredness or fatigue, diabetes, severe joint pain and loss of sex drive.
Diagnosed early, haemochromatosis is manageable and not life-limiting. Treatment is simple and effective; through regular blood donation (also known as “venesection”).
The Haemochromatosis charity would like to thank everyone involved – /admin/resources/barnes-montessori-nursery-certificate-final-march-2024.pdf click here for their personal thanks.
