10 August 2026: Stickler Syndrome & August Almanac
We learn about Stickler Syndrome, what is it and how it can affect your eye sight. We’ll be speaking with Amelia Aves, who was the first one in her family to be diagnosed with this rare genetic disorder affecting connective tissue. She'll tell us about the importance of early diagnosis and a free screening tool available through charity Stickler Syndrome UK. We're also joined by Amelia as she brings us the latest Almanac with some facts from history, folklore and nature. And finally, our funny news story takes on a very wholesome spin.
