The £1000 donation will help fund the costs of the next DYRK1a Families Meet up Conference in the UK.
The conference is an amazing opportunity to connect with other families from across the UK and share information and experiences in dealing with the challenges our DYRK1a children and young people have in life.
In addition to our families gaining more of an understanding around the medical aspects, traits, latest research and therapies from the specialist speakers who will attend and present during the event we are also able to use the conference to establish and provide knowledge to them.
We are planning to run our postponed 2020 event for families and researchers as soon as social distancing restrictions are lifted. The venue will likely be in the midlands. We have had 2 previous events in London in August 2017 and July 2018.
The funding provided will help ensure that as many families as possible are able to benefit from this event by being able to pay for the conference facilities during the meet up for all the speakers and the families attending. This will help encourage attendance of families who would otherwise not feel able to financially.
