ABOUT

●The Lowe Syndrome Trust

The Lowe Syndrome Trust is a UK Charity formed in June 2000 by parents of Lowe syndrome children to help raise funds for medical research in the hope of better treatments and eventually a cure for this tragic and under-researched disease. Lowe Syndrome is a genetic disorder that can occur with no family history, affecting boys with multiple physical and mental handicaps including cataracts in both eyes, muscle weakness (hypotomia or floppy baby syndrome), kidney problems, cysts, brittle bones, arthritis, poor growth, mental impairment with behaviour problems (autistic spectrum disorder) and epilepsy. Sadly the life expectancy for these children is short due to the complications of the disease and the lack of funding into a cure. Three’s A Crowd is committed to raising awareness and funding for the Lowe Syndrome children.

●Previous 2007 Charity Event

This fantastic fund-raising event was held in the stylish surroundings of Floridita in Soho, and was hosted by Lowe Syndrome Trustee, Jonathan Ross. The night featured live entertainment by Russell Watson, Newton Faulkner and Beverley Knight and food created by Jean-Christophe Novelli with a charity auction hosted by Jonathan Ross and Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.

The event attracted a wide variety of sponsors including Hello! Magazine and Play.com. Other sponsors included Maker’s Mark, Sauza Tequila, XCalibre, Mercedes Benz-Retail and Fiji Natural Water. Three’s A Crowd organised a three-page feature of the charity and event in two separate editions of Hello magazine gaining extensive publicity for all sponsors. The May 10th Charity event, with its extraordinary array of star guests, performers and evening’s entertainment, looks set to raise even more funds and publicity for the Lowe Syndrome Trust.
