FAST UK invite you to host a Cakes and Smiles coffee event from 15 February 2022 to celebrate International Angelman Day (IAD) and more importantly, it is an opportunity to raise awareness of Angelman Syndrome on a global scale.

International Angelman Day was started by two AS parents in 2012 and engaged 31 Angelman syndrome organisations from around the world to join their efforts. Today, IAD has grown to over 50 AS organisations participating worldwide.

February 15th is significant because February is Rare Disease Month and the 15th refers to the 15th chromosome, which is the chromosome impacted by Angelman syndrome.
