Five-year-old Tate from Swansea has Sanfilippo syndrome Type A, a rare form of childhood dementia. Just4Children are racing against time to raise funds for life-changing gene therapy before his condition progresses.

Story

I am running My first Half Marathon, on the 21/11/2026 at The Smurf Run in Dare Valley Country Park in Aberdare in Wales. This is to raise funds for Five-year-old Tate from Swansea, Who has Sanfilippo syndrome Type A, a rare form of childhood dementia.

His devoted mum Tammy is working incredibly hard and and is racing against time to raise 1.3 million for life-changing gene therapy before his condition progresses.

Without treatment, he will progressively lose the ability to communicate, learn, walk, eat independently and, ultimately, his life.

I'm excited & nervous for this running challenge but most importantly i really hope to raise as much funds and awareness as I can to help this little boy and his family, Any donations shares etc will be greatly appreciated. Please help me show up for Tate and his family 💜 Thankyou in advance.
