Story

Firstly, thank you for looking at ,my page. I have always battled with my weight and a combination of medication for my Epilepsy and reduced mobility have made the battle harder. Losing weight for myself isn't working so I have decided to try and lose weight for my children.

Therefore I have decided to raise as much money as I can for the charity that supports my children and others like them, to help with raising awareness of a condition that is not well known but actually affects more children than first thought due to it being frequently mis-diagnosed as Autism. This condition is known as Fetal AntiConvulsant Syndrome, and is caused by the anti-epileptic medication affecting the fetus during pregnancy. Children affected can have a range of problems including Speech and Language Difficulties, Social and Emotional Communication Difficulties, ADHD, ASD's, Heart problems, bowel and bladder problems, spina bifida, limb deformities and hare lip and cleft palet to name a few.

Please support me with my weight loss so that we can continue to support families and children affected by this condition. By continuing to raise awareness we are helping these children to get the support that they need in so many areas including Education and Health.. The website for this condition is www.oacs-uk.co.uk

Please feel free to visit this or mention it to anyone who you feel it may be interested.
