SOFT UK has always been a part in my life.  My sister Beth had Trisomy 13 and was born in 1988 when there was very little information or support.  Sadly, Beth died when she was just 12 weeks old, but my mother Jenny went on to co-found SOFT with Christine Rose and I was born soon afterwards.I remember playing in the crèche at the early SOFT UK conferences and I am now a Trustee!

Beth and many SOFT UK families I have met over the years have influenced my career choices and approach to work as a GP. I look forward to helping SOFT UK continue to support families in the future.
