Story

In the New Year I will be pushing myself to run the Vitality Half Marathon and the Brighton Marathon.

Why? To raise money for Action for A-T which was established in 2012 by parents whose daughter was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition named Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T). Since 2012, they have invested over £2.2 million in 34 A-T related research projects globally and work constantly with the best scientific minds to develop new research opportunities. The charity has its own highly qualified multi-disciplinary medical advisory and peer review panel and a grant management process which has led them to achieve a best practice award from the national Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC). The charitys mission is simple, they aim to speed up the process of identifying a cure for A-T or treatments that delay or prevent the disabling effects of this devastating childhood condition. They do this by seeking and funding high quality peer-reviewed medical research both in the UK and around the world. Further investment into A-T research is urgently required as there is currently no treatment or cure.

Please donate to help me help others, thank you very much!
