About Laura Wykes

Profile picture


After 10 years of trying to win a place in the London Marathon, I have been lucky enough to earn a place with the British Dyslexia Association.

Growing up I watched firsthand of the impact dyslexia can have on a child and their self esteem. I grew up witnessing the stress, worry and dedication put in to getting someone with dyslexia through the schooling systems in the late 80’s and 90’s.

My fabulous daughter has dyslexia & I have been sad to see how little has changed in the education system.

Thanks to the efforts of charities such as the BDA, parents and children don’t have to struggle and suffer like they once did. The BDA provide me with reassurance, tips and free webinars to help me, to help my child. They provide support for children & parents alike. The website is a safe place to go to where people can share their stories and celebrate all of of the positive traits a person with a dyslexic brain has.

With 10% of the British population having dyslexia the future is looking brighter than ever before. This is thanks to the efforts of the incredible charity that is the BDA. This charity is particularly close to my heart and I hope that you can help me to raise much needed funding and awareness
