As most of you know we are running the London Marathon this year.

Back in April 2016 we applied for the Ballot not ever dreaming that we would get through TOGETHER and raising for our own cause, most of you know that we as a family raise for Davies Family Quest for Klinefelter's Syndrome.

As you know, me and Scott only run when there's a deal on at our local pizza hut, We have given up so much to be able to do this, we have run, cycled and Gym'd and even given up smoking! This really is one of the biggest things that we will ever do!

We started to raise back in June 2015 after Bailey age 6 got diagnosed with this, Klinefelter's Syndrome only effects 1 in 600 males and there are currently 45,000 males in the UK un-diagnosed, We together want to raise awareness and dramatically reduce the amount of males that do not get the answers they need.

What is Klinefelter's Syndrome I hear you ask?

KS is a lifelong condition which is present from conception in about 1 in 600 live male births. Typically, males have one X and one Y chromosome. In KS there is one (or more) extra chromosomes.

Children with KS often but not always display this symptoms

Speech and language development disorders, difficulty with learning, shy and passive, lack of energy, difficulties with socialising and expressing feelings, autistic tendencies and Poor Muscle tone.

When reaching adulthood more symptoms are displayed, sometimes not always as case to case it varies:- Lack of muscle bulk and tone, breast development, poor communication and social skills, unexplained tiredness and lethargy, difficulty processing information – especially verbal.

Depression, mood swings and low self-esteem are common.

Many men are diagnosed with KS because of fertility problems. The vast majority are unable to father children naturally.

Please help us on our quest that means so much to us and our family.
