Didn't catch the #FTDBrothers on @BBCBreakfast yesterday? Watch them here! They are over halfway through their ultramarathon every day in September from John O'Groats to Lands End! The most inspiring family 🧡
'This is something we can cure' Brothers Jordan and Cian Adams both carry a faulty gene which means they'll develop frontotemporal dementia like their mum, aunt and grandmother. They joined #BBCBreakfast in the studio as they run every day from John O'Groats to Land's End

This is worrying. Further research @SwanseaUni @SUSciEng found that, from ~5000 children, those with Additional Learning Needs were less proficient in motor skills than their peers. This likely leads to less physical activity & therefore poorer health.
Research by our fantastic @Cathryn_Knight and @LowthianEmily at @SwanseaUni was featured on @BBCMoreOrLess today! 🙌 Their @NuffieldFound study found that 47% of Welsh children born in 2002/3 have had Special Educational Needs. But why? Listen here➡️

For the first time since September 1997, I’m not enrolling! My inner student is having an identity crisis. Is this what freedom feels like, or do I need to write an essay about it? 🎓

Take a look at the #FTDBrothers story. They are running the length of the UK in 31 days in an inspirational effort to raise £1 million over their lifetimes #ForACure - before they too develop symptoms due to a faulty gene. Follow their journey on Instagram at Jord_Adams 🧡
