Current Goal

To travel the world raising awareness of Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) as well as raising funds for the Prader-Willi Association UK to help support 1,000 people with PWS in the UK.

www.justgiving.com/geocaching accepts funds and sends them directly to PWSA UK.

About This Item

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a chromosomal disorder with symptoms that include learning difficulties, obesity and behavioral problems. PWS is a genetic condition that occurs in one in 15,000 to 20,000 live births. PWS results from disruption of chromosome 15. This leads to a disruption of a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which controls appetite. At birth, babies are usually small and floppy, with low muscle tone, and have problems feeding. The babies are slow to get walking and these poor motor skills may persist into adult life.

After about six months to a year, especially as the child becomes mobile, they develop an interest in food that may become an insatiable obsession. Weight gain can be rapid, leading to severe obesity that results in diabetes, strain on the heart, lungs and skeleton, and even early death.

Every £1 you donate helps PWSA (UK) continue its support of 1,000 people with PWS in the UK. Your £1 could also be worth more if you tick the Gift Aid option. 

More information on PWS can be found on www.pwsa.co.uk

    Am 08.07.2023 war ich auf dem MEGA "Project: Bei die Wikingers". Ich habe mit TB-Scan die Codes auf den Autos gescannt, eine Menge Namensschilder, Tattoos, T-Shirts mit Codes und TBs sowie Logbuchstempel im näheren Umfeld entdeckt. Ich bedanke mich fürs Zeigen der Codes. Mit einigen Geocachern bin ich in sehr nette Gespräche verwickelt worden. Das hat echt Spaß gemacht! Große Freude haben mir auch die Cacherhunde bereitet.

    Ich wünsche den Cachemobilen allzeit gute Fahrt, den TBs spannende und sichere TB-Hotels und dem Eigentümer dieses Codes noch eine Menge Spaß mit diesem großartigen Hobby und tolle Logeinträge. Grüße aus Düsseldorf, Cattack
