The charity help fund an annual event that connects DYRK1A individuals and their families with interested professionals. In addition to our families gaining more of an understanding around the medical aspects, traits, latest research and therapies from the specialist speakers who will attend and present during the event we are also able to use the conference to establish and provide knowledge to them and help learn about the challenges our DYRK1a children and young people have in life. Securing funding helps ensure that as many families as possible are able to benefit from this event by being able to pay for the conference facilities during the meet up for all the speakers and the families attending. This will help encourage attendance of families who would otherwise not feel able to financially.
