I will be taking part in the Brisbane Marathon Festival 2018 to   raise awareness for Angelman Syndrome.

I have chosen F.A.S.T. ( Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Theraupitcs Australia) as our charity; they are an organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life for families and individuals living with this rare disease and hopefully one day there will be a cure!

Our son Tynan has Angelman Syndrome, Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a rare neuro-genetic disorder affecting about 1 in 20,000 people. It is characterized by severe intellectual impairment, lack of speech, seizures, severe sleep disturbance, movement and balance issues, and numerous other features. 

" Living with AS brings some hurdles most of you will not encounter, such as having a conversation with your child- we may never be able to verbally converse with tynan without the need of communication aids etc. 

He is a smart little boy who is so loved by everyone he meets. He brings joy and mischief to our lives. But it is a dream for us one day he may be able to verbally talk with us" 

This August, I'm  going to be sweating it out and doing our best to complete a gruelling course, but in doing so  we will be making our run count! I am very honoured to be a part of this amazing race and helping a great cause, and really appreciate your support in this endeavour.
