As many of your know, I have a grandson with FragileX - a genetic condition which, amongst other things leads to learning difficulties and anxiety. I'm hoping you might help me raise funds for the society, (https://www.fragilex.org.uk/) which supports families affected by this condition because, in common with many charities, our fundraising has been hit very hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Society offers support, information and advice to families and individuals and as you can imagine our helpline is particularly busy at this time, offering support to families and individuals who are adjusting to these new and difficult conditions . Funds permitting we are hoping to expand this service.
So, I'm planning to walk 26 times around the village green in Hilton, near Cambridge, where I"m in `lockdown' with my sister and family. My niece, Frances has kindly volunteered to walk with me. One circuit takes around 8.5 minutes, so 26 should take around 2hrs 20 minutes. Not a huge challenge I know, but a gesture and a way to raise awareness of FragileX. If you are able to help a little, I and the Society, of which I am a Trustee, would be very grateful. Thank you very much!
