Come join us tomorrow morning (Wednesday 13 August) as Charlotte's Helix finds its way to BBC Breakfast's famous red sofa, for talk of genetics, eating disorders, Charlotte Bevan and the future of eating disorder knowledge and treatment.

A Beat young ambassador has been to Kings College London to donate DNA for the #AN25K challenge via Charlotte's Helix, and Kings have been talking "psychgenomics".  The BBC Breakfast crew have travelled from London to Suffolk to find out more about Charlotte, her world and her work, from her family.  Tomorrow's feature will introduce Charlotte's legacy in Charlotte's Helix to a new audience, and will continue to spread Charlotte's word and her confidence in the future to many more than even she was able to touch in her lifetime.

Do join us.  The tea will be hot and brewing from about 6am (GMT).  Coffee available for anyone not from the UK and joining us in spirit, if iplayer live is not available to you (OK, we can make a few other exceptions - but Charlotte had a very special kettle that was really mostly about tea!), and breakfast will be on the table.  We can't wait!  Hope to see lots of you there and to report more here after the event.

On breakfast this morning your representative said that DNA differences were not inherited. THIS IS TOTAL NONSENSE.

DNA is the medium of genetic inheritance.

I believe I was that person.
1. I am not a representative of Charlotte's Helix.
2. I didn't talk about DNA, only genetic links to vulnerability for illness.
3. I said that not all illnesses/conditions with a 'genetic' factor are inherited.
4 this is TRUE
