Beckie Hardiman, PhD student studying at the Tizard Centre is undertaking a triathlon at the end of September, hoping to complete an 800m open water swim, 40km bike ride and 8km run. She is hoping to raise money for the Fragile X Society (www.fragilex.org.uk). The charity does fantastic work to support families affected by Fragile X Syndrome, which is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability (affecting 1/3600 boys and 1/6000 girls) and the leading known single-gene cause of autism.
