Sunderland Lights Up Blue for Fragile X Syndrome

On Friday 10th October, landmarks across Sunderland were beautifully lit in blue to raise awareness of Fragile X Syndrome, thanks to the support of Sunderland Council and the incredible efforts of Kay and Janice.

Iconic sites including Penshaw Monument shone brightly throughout the evening, creating a powerful visual statement in honour of families affected by Fragile X.

This public show of support marks another year that the Robinson family and their local community have worked together to raise awareness. Their continued efforts to bring visibility to Fragile X often an under-recognised condition are a true reflection of the strength, love, and advocacy at the heart of the Fragile X community.

We are incredibly grateful to Kay, Janice, and their family for organising and promoting this initiative once again, and to Sunderland Council for their ongoing commitment to supporting awareness in such a meaningful and visible way.

To everyone in Sunderland who spotted the lights or shared a message of support, thank you for being part of this moment.
