Brighton Marathon 2013 · 14 April 2013 ·

The Williams Syndrome Foundation was formed in 1980 and is run by parents for parents of children with this rare condition which causes heart and kidney problems and learning difficulties. It desperately needs funds to finance its ambitious research and family support programmes which include national conventions and regional meetings.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

I have decided to run the Brighton Marathon this year, and raise  money for The Williams Syndrome Foundation.  The WSF provides support and information for individuals and families associated with the condition. 

My daughter has a friend at school who has been diagnosed with Williams Syndrome, and the bond that they have forged is very special. 

Williams Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that causes delayed neurological development, a range of potential physical and learning difficulties. There is no cure or treatment for Williams, but the Williams Syndrome Foundation recognises that children with the condition - and their families - can still lead happy and fulfilled lives.

The WSF is a small self supporting charity, and does not get the financial support that it should.

Please go to www.williams-syndrome.org.uk for more information on the work that this fantastic charity does.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for reading this, and please give a bit, because 26 miles seems a bloody long way at the moment.
