PS31Q Walk for UNIQUE (Rare Chromosome Disorder Support Group)
Fundraising for UNIQUE (Rare Chromosome Disorder Support Group)
Story
Every year, P.S.31Q The Bayside school participates in several community service projects/donation drives to teach the children about the importance of helping others and giving back. This year P.S.31Q has chosen to raise money for Unique (Rare Chromosome Disorder Support Group).
Unique is a small charity, providing much needed help and information to families who have children born with rare chromosome and gene disorders. These disorders, affecting around 1 in 200 live-born babies, are caused by parts of one or more of their chromosomes missing, added on or rearranged, as well as changes in single genes. They are often born sick and severely learning and/or physically disabled, unable to walk or talk and this can put lots of stress and strain on their families. Some, however have relatively mild or no symptoms and only find out they have a chromosome disorder when they try to have children of their own and for example experience multiple, heartbreaking miscarriages.
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Our fundraiser will culminate on October 31st with a walk during our Harvest Festival. The children will be walking with their classes and parents are invited to walk with us. More details to follow in a separate flyer.
Thank you for your support. We hope to see you at our walk!
