Story

We are raising money and awareness for the Fragile X Society because we know that sometimes life is hard for people with Fragile X Syndrome (the most common inherited cause of learning disability) and we want to help. The Fragile X Society is a charity that supports families living with fragile X syndrome. My brother has the syndrome and we sometimes find it hard to be his siblings, but we also have great fun with him, he is very funny and likes jokes. We want to help the siblings of other families. We think the Fragile X Society does a lot of good and we want to do good as well. The Society does its bit by holding events for families and it also runs a telephone support line giving advice to families and professionals living and working with fragile X syndrome. We can do our bit by raising money and awareness to help keep the charity going. Our cats Dandy and Pepper will feature in a few of our 2.6 challenges because they help our brother calm down when he gets upset, and I love my cats so I want them to feature. Our first challenge is to put on a 26 cat treat marathon! If you haven't heard of this challenge before, it's when you put out 26 cat treats in a line and see which cat eats them the quickest. There will be 26 more challenges over the next 26 days...
