In a rather impulsive decision I am running the Manchester marathon on 19th April in aid of Reverse Rett, and my wee nephew Cameron.

The UK Rett Syndrome community is at a pivotal moment at the moment with two clinical trials of gene therapies underway.

Much is required of our small, rare disease organisation at this time. At Reverse Rett, we are packing a mighty punch in accelerating disease-modifying treatments for Rett syndrome but we need your support to keep our work going.
