What's it all for?
Dravet Syndrome is a rare, life-long and life-limiting neurological condition, affecting one in every 15,000 people in the UK. As well as severe, difficult-to-control seizures, Dravet Syndrome encompasses intellectual disability and a spectrum of associated conditions (known as comorbidities), which may include autism, ADHD, behaviours that challenge and difficulties with speech, mobility, feeding and sleep. Every child or adult with Dravet Syndrome is different, with some affected more severely than others, or with a different emphasis across symptoms and comorbidities. But for all, the condition is complex and can be highly unpredictable.
Dravet Syndrome UK is the only UK organisation dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by Dravet Syndrome. Our mission is to bring hope to families living with Dravet Syndrome through support, education and medical research. You can find out more about our work by visiting our website.
By donating, you're not only spurring our awesome abseilers on as they conquer their fears, you're helping us to support all families affected by Dravet Syndrome. Each year we need to raise over £400,000 to keep providing our much-needed services. We couldn't do this without the generous support of our incredible community. Thank you so very much for donating to Dravet Syndrome UK today.
