    Fundraising news Winter 2016 Exciting times in the search for Barth syndrome treatments At a recent information day held by the Barth Syndrome Trust (BST), led by Michaela Damin with Prof Steward, families learnt about prospective research projects and clinical trials, and how they could participate in the search for one or more treatments. There is still a long way to go, but this is a start and to get this far is a truly amazing achievement. Several of our families have taken part in research already. Yet where we are today and where we hope to go in the pursuit of treatments would not be possible without the dedication and hard work of our wonderful families, friends, donors and fundraisers, who have through the years believed in us.

  • Beazley to Bring the 'Duel and the Crown' to Chelsea
    Press Beazley to bring the ‘Duel and the Crown’ to Chelsea Specialist Lloyd’s insurer announces collaborative tie-up with Release RHS Chelsea Flower Show exhibitor and British Fencing London, February 2 2012 Beazley Group, the specialist Lloyd’s insurer and premier partner of British Fencing, will join forces with Hillier Nurseries and Garden Centres at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show, to bring a fencing themed garden exhibit entitled ‘Duel and the Crown’ to the 2012 exhibition. This innovative tie-up will celebrate the Olympic sport of fencing by bringing it to life through plant and garden design. The exhibit will feature live fencing displays by members of the Beazley British Fencing team, appealing to horticulturalists and sports fans alike. This will be fencing’s return to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show site, where tournaments were regularly fought at Ranelagh Gardens until 1939. The Epée Club still fight for the Ranelagh Cup in the grounds of the Hurlingham Club every summer. The fencing exhibit will also be a tribute to Her Majesty the Queen, the Patron of British Fencing, as the nation prepares to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. Andrew Horton, Beazley Chief Executive said: “People may ask why we are seeking to combine fencing and horticulture, but for us the link is clear. Fencing is an elegant, stylish sport and by aligning it with the Chelsea Flower Show we are expressing the artistry of the sport in a unique and interesting way. “We are proud of our sponsorship of British Fencing and we hope that people find the link-up with Chelsea engaging and thought-provoking.” Andrew McIndoe, Managing Director of Hillier Nurseries said: “We are delighted to be working with Beazley and British Fencing on our Garden Exhibit at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
