PictureMiranda B. rolls up her sleeve for science!
Thank you, Miranda B., for rolling up your sleeve today to be the first Charlotte's Helix DNA sample!

Just one day after we announced Kings College London as Charlotte's Helix partner in collecting DNA samples in the UK, Charlotte's dear friend, Miranda, rolled up her sleeve to be the first sample.  

Friends, together we are making this happen. Charlotte's hope that the UK would be added to the international AN25K project is a reality. 

If you would like to be part of the study, please sign up TODAY to express your interest. Your participation makes you a part of an international initiative to discover the genetic clues to eating disorders.

There is no charge to the participant, but to keep this project going we need the funds to pay for testing. To get 1,000 samples we will need approximately £100,000. 

If you care about this issue, donate now. All donation levels are needed. You can donate in any currency from any country. Although Charlotte's Helix is about adding the UK the AN25K project is international and any results will have international impact. Be part of this exciting work! 

Support Charlotte's dream by supporting Charlotte's Helix.

Tracy,

Enrolling in the study is fast and easy. There is a form on this page

https://www.charlotteshelix.net/add-your-dna-to-an25k.html

Where you enter your contact information (confidential). You will then be contacted by the Kings College London researchers to get you enrolled.

Charlotte would be so glad to know this study has inspired you to get involved and reach out. This means so much to all of us!

Laura
Friend of Charlotte
