Story

This October I’ll be running the Lisbon marathon to raise funds for the Fragile X Society. 

Many people haven’t heard of Fragile X, but it is the most common inherited cause of learning disability. It affects 1 in 6000 girls and 1 in 4000 boys. It can cause a wide range of difficulties with learning, as well as social, language, attentional, emotional, and behavioural problems. The Fragile X Society works to improve the lives of those affected by Fragile X and their families, as well as supporting professionals such as teachers, health care professionals and social workers.

Any donations, however small, would be very gratefully received - and these will be matched by my firm which means every pound will go even further. 

Thank you and wish me luck! 🏃🏼‍♀️
