UNIQUE (Rare Chromosome Disorder Support Group)

Charity Registration No. 1110661

Unique provides information and support to individuals affected by rare chromosome disorders, their families and the medical and other professionals working with them. Rare chromosome disorders are lifelong conditions, often causing severe physical and learning disabilities and complex health issues. They affect at least 1 in 200 live-born babies. Most will be dependent on their carers for the duration of their lives, many unable to walk, feed themselves or communicate their needs. The disorders remain very poorly understood and Unique is a place for parents and carers to turn to for help and advice. We help them come to terms with their child’s diagnosis by providing information on hundreds of specific disorders, sensitive support through our Listening Ear service and by linking them with other families living with similar disorders. We also work to raise awareness and disseminate information among the medical and many other professionals involved, aiming to ensure those affected receive the care and support they need in their own communities.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page

On 14 March 2009 I will be shaving my long and luscious locks

in support of Unique: the Rare Chromosome Disorder Support Group and my new niece, Efi. This charity has supported Elaine and Stewart at every stage, enabling them to find ways to help little Efi get used to living in the big wide world. The information and advice provided by Unique has been crucial during the first few weeks of Efi's life and has given Elaine and Stewart the confidence to instruct the doctors about how best to care for their daughter.

Please help us to support Unique and the great work they do with the families of children with rare chromosome disorders by donating online. I have promised to raise £500 so I need all of you to dig deep and help out.

For those of you who prefer the old fashioned method of sponsoring someone then me and Em will happily take your cash and forward it to Unique.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Rare Chromosome Disorder Support Group gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
