Love this... giving the gift of a donation this Christmas... Let's all make a difference today!
Supporting us at #Christmas With the cost of postage going through the roof and us all looking for ways to support one another over the festive period... Why not give a donation instead of sending Christmas cards this year... and bring joy to families and individuals affected by #AlströmSyndrome across the UK.
