Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This year I'll be taking part in BCA's annual Marathon walk to raise funds for Action for A-T.
What is A-T? Ataxia Telangiectasia - A-T is a rare, degenerative condition that affects many different parts of the body and generally appears in early childhood. It occurs in approximately 1 in 300,000 live births, however, A-T diagnosis can be delayed or missed due to its similarities with other conditions. Symptoms progressively worsen, leading to full-time wheelchair use – usually before the early teens.
For many people living with this rare condition, sustainable, high quality medical research offers hope for the future and can also give insights into more common conditions like cancer, compromised immune system, lung conditions and health generally.
That's why I've chosen to take part in this event, not only to help raise funds for this amazing Charity but more importantly raise awareness into the condition.
I ask with great kindness, that if you can please donate even the smallest amount, the difference you will make to the lives of the children and the research into the condition will truly be treasured.
Thank you
Nic
