Individual stories help us demonstrate the importance of our work and can inspire other people in the same situation.
If you, your child, or someone you know has been affected by a condition that we are currently funding research into, such as cerebral palsy or meningitis, please contact us to share your experience.
We work very hard to ensure stories are told sensitively. And we will, of course, check on each occasion before using any story that has been submitted to us.

Although nobody knew it at the time, she was showing the signs of Rett syndrome. Read her story in this Touching Lives article.
