I've signed a pledge to get 18 people to give £18 for this worthwhile but very small charity! It's a big birthday for me this year so if you would like to help me celebrate it - or even if you don't - then please do donate!

My youngest daughter has a very rare genetic condition called Mosaic Tetrasomy 18p - Tet18p affects about 1 in 625,000 births, so meeting other families with the same or similar conditions is really important - it's what the charity facilitates, so families get support and advice where, quite frankly, from others - including medical professionals - they can't.
