Angelman Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects a person’s development and causes various challenges. It’s caused by a problem with a specific gene, and even though it’s present from birth, its signs usually become noticeable as a child grows. People with Angelman Syndrome often have difficulty with speech and coordination, and they might have a happy and excitable personality. This condition can impact their ability to learn and communicate, but with proper care and support, individuals with Angelman Syndrome can still lead fulfilling lives and make meaningful connections with those around them.
For families and individuals dealing with Angelman Syndrome, organizations like Angelman UK provide crucial assistance and resources. These charities offer valuable guidance, connect families, and work to improve the lives of those affected by this condition.
To further support the efforts of Angelman UK, the upcoming Birmingham Running Festival presents an exciting opportunity. By participating in this event, you can contribute to the charity’s mission while also enjoying a rewarding and active experience. Lace up your running shoes and join in this meaningful initiative to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals with Angelman Syndrome.

We support people with AS and their families, as well as professionals and carers from the point of diagnosis and throughout their lives. We educate and raise awareness of Angelman Syndrome and the issues that surround it through delivering conferences and educational events to parents & professionals. We work with many organisations and researchers in the field of Angelman Syndrome to broaden our knowledge of the condition and improve our understanding of potential future therapeutics.
