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.

I am running the Great North Run on the 20th September 2009 for a charity that is not very well known but is close to my heart mainly because of a gorgeous little boy called Archie!
I am Archie's nanny, and of course he obviously means a lot to me and both him and his family are a huge part of my life. So knowing the support that Unique offers to children and families affected by Rare Chromosome Disorders like Archie's I wanted to step out and take part in this tough challenge (especially for unfit people like myself!) for them....and most importantly for him!

So please sponsor me now!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Unique the 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.
