Story
Thank you for visiting our Active in April Campaign page!
We are challenging you, your friends and family to keep ACTIVE in APRIL by walking, jogging, running, skating, cycling or swimming 15, 30, 60 or 100 miles throughout the month. The challenge is set for all ages and abilities, wheelchair users are welcome to join in too
Our aim is to raise much needed awareness for the rare neurological condition Sturge Weber Syndrome which affects approximately 1 in every 20,000-50,000 individuals. SW UK relies solely on public donations, to enable us to assist the well being of those individuals, their families, friends, helpers and carers by providing information and support. Kind donations made to SW UK have a direct beneficial impact on children and adults affected by Sturge Weber Syndrome. Last year's campaign raised £4.375, with thanks to people like you, and supported the launch of Make a Difference Fund
