A message from Duncan:
"Our little angel, Eve Brigginshaw was born with a rare genetic condition, Turners Syndrome, which has wide and varied effects on the health of those who are born with it. No, I hadn't heard of it either. And this is why my selfless team mates and I are running to back the efforts of the Turners Syndrome Support Society, a small and financially challenged charity trying to raise awareness of Turners with health workers, doctors and front line staff, and provide a support network for the girls and their families. For Eve, even after the determined efforts of her parents and numerous visits to Doctors and Paediatricians with the symptoms she showed, Eve was not diagnosed until after her second birthday. What we now know is that 2 is early, with diagnosis typically being around 8 years old. Why is this important? So treatment of symptoms can start early and associated health problems can be managed in the right context.
I personally am heaving myself from in front of the computer to support this charity with a group of valiant volunteers, If you too could heave your hands into your pockets it will help other little girls get the diagnosis and support they need."
