They are an amazing charity and need your support.
The Mills family are big supporters of the MPS Society, from filming documentaries to family fundraising to creating the design of our thank you cards they're keen to give back to the charity however they can. Who better then to make the charity appeal for BBC Radio 4?
The Radio 4 Appeal is a weekly 3 minute programme that highlights the work of a charity and appeals for donations. It is a great opportunity for the MPS Society to reach a new audience and raise awareness of the these incredibly rare conditions. There are 49 appeals broadcast on Radio 4 each year and we were lucky enough to be chosen to feature in 2020.

Louise was kind, caring and helped us to talk about the condition to Penny's brothers.
