For the month of July I will be walking 26.2 miles to raise money for a special little girl. 

Earlier this year beautiful Mollie was diagnosed with a rare childhood disease Ataxia Telangiectasia or ‘AT’. 

Most of you will not have heard of this condition... but for Mollie’s family it has shattered their world. 

Having AT means Mollie and other kids like her will struggle with balance, coordination, speech and fine motor skills, this progresses from the age of 5 - often causing tremors and children are eventually enabled by wheelchairs by the age of 10.

Immune deficiency means Mollie is more prone to infection and unable to create antibodies after receiving general immunisations. 

Another cruel aspect to this condition is a predisposition to cancers, particularly blood cancers and a sensitivity to radiation - therefore certain treatments to fight cancers cannot be used on kids with AT. 

In addition to this the respiratory system is also effected and often children with AT suffer with lung disease.

Thankfully Children with AT retain cognitive skills, although this is heartbreaking that they fully understand that they are loosing ability and skills that the rest of us take for granted... walking, reading, writing and even speech becomes difficult.

We refuse to go in to details of life expectancy- because we have too much hope... There are clever people working around the world on a treatment but they desperately need money to help fund this research for a cure.

AT is a CRUEL DISEASE that ATTACKS CHILDREN - We need to FIGHT IT! 

Join us by walking 26.2 miles throughout the month of July, Mummy’s help us raise awareness and money for AT in our Mummy Marathon and help us save beautiful Mollie from this Rare Disease - we have so much hope for a treatment or better a cure... 

Spread the hope - Walk, Donate, Share... 

Let’s create a miracle 💕
