Well i made it!! 100 miles on a bicycle and i was able to raise $2000!! Thank you to everyon who donated!!
My name is Rich Clary and I am an Alkaptonuria patient.
I am fund raising to raise awareness and money for the AKU Society of North America by completing a 100 mile bicycle event on 2 November 2013. I have yet to go 100 miles on my bicycle and wanted to use my experience as a way to begin fund raising. This will be the first of many events I will enter to raise money for research to find a cure for Alkaptonuria.
What is Alkaptonuria? Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare disease, which causes a severe and early-onset form of osteoarthritis. It can be a painful and degenerative disease. AKU is caused by the lack of an enzyme called homogentisic dioxygenase (HGD). This leads to a condition in which patients cannot fully break down a toxic acid called homogentisic acid, or HGA. Although some HGA is eliminated in urine, a large amount builds up in body tissues, accumulating at 2,000 times the normal rate. This leads to severely debilitating health problems.
