Lee, his twin brother Deano, and a fantastic team from Adams Morey Ltd. took on a very challenging Tough Mudder event in Birmingham at the weekend. The team completed the 18km course, crossing the finish line together. They raised over £5,000 for the AT Society - we would like to say a huge thank you to Lee, the team and all who sponsored them!

AT Society
Non-profit Organizations
The charity supports people living with the disabling, life-limiting condition ataxia-telangiectasia and funds research.
About us
Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT) is a progressive genetic condition which causes severe disability and shortens lives. The AT Society exists to ensure that every life with AT is lived to the full and to fund and promote research to develop treatments for the condition and ultimately find a cure. Since 1989, the AT Society has been leading the way in supporting people living with AT and promoting research. We are in touch with almost every person known to have a diagnosis of AT in the UK and Ireland. In 1994 we established the first ever specialist AT clinic in Nottingham and still work closely with the two specialist centres in the UK. We recently published the first -ever clinical guidance document, now available in English and French. In 2011, the AT Society established the international AT Clinical Research Network and a year later inaugurated (and continues to administer) a series of international clinical research conferences. Over the last 30 years we have funded a wide range of research projects and posts. We are currently leading work to establish an international AT patient registry and are supporting the organisation of the first ever multi-centre clinical trial of a treatment for AT, led by the Italian firm Erydel.

We were delighted to meet with Victoria Collins, Liberal Democrat MP for Harpenden & Berkhamsted, last week. The challenges that small charities are facing right now, especially in terms of increasing beneficiary needs at a time when funding is decreasing, are considerable. We are so pleased to have the support of Victoria to help with the issues that matter and the realities facing our community. After the visit, Victoria commented, “It was a great privilege to meet the AT team, as the local MP, I will provide the AT Society with all the ongoing support I can. We should be very proud that Harpenden is home to such a remarkable organisation”. #charitysupport #livingwithdisability #makingadifference #Harpenden

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. To mark the occasion we are launching a new information resource for people living with AT. With more than 30 years’ experience of supporting people affected by AT, the AT Society is aware how life with AT can bring about a turbulent range of emotional distress and uncertainty. Parents and carers affected by AT often ask us for tips and techniques to help maintain good mental health. They also question how and why counselling differs to talking to a friend. This leaflet has been created in response to some of these queries. Follow the link to download the booklet: https://lnkd.in/ewTsd2YD #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
