Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page, set up especially to raise awareness and much needed support for our chosen charity, Unique.

Everyday 10 babies are born in the Uk alone with a rare chromosome disorder; this means that at least 1 in every 200 babies carries either a balanced or unbalanced rare chromosome disorder.

1 in every 1,000 live births has a rare chromosome disorder resulting in disability or ill health.

Some chromosome disorders are so rare that they are truly unique, but although individually rare, such rare chromosome disorders are collectively numerous.

Unique helps by supporting affected families whilst they try to come to terms with the fact that it might be impossible for them to be given a definite prognosis for their affected children.

Sue, one of the team at Branston was given support by Unique following the birth of her son Ricky, and is now on a mission with the rest of our charity challenge team to give a bit back.

Our team consists of several colleagues from the B&Q Home Delivery Network and our aim is to complete the three peaks challenge within a 24hr period.

Ben Nevis - 1,344m - Scotland

Scafell Pike - 978m - England

Snowdon - 1,085m - Wales

Thats 26 miles of steep rugged ascents and decents with 500 miles in between (I like the proclainers and in charge of the music while we're driving)

So, please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Rare Chromosome Disorder Support Group will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
