All MRKHers are able to bring a plus one if you choose. However, note that those with MRKH and our wonderful friends, partners and parents will be located in two separate rooms for the majority of the day to promote a safe and comfortable environment for all with MRKH to chat and share together and same for our supporters. MRKH Connect wants to make support as accessible as possible so whilst it won’t be possible to live stream the event we will be recording the presentations and making them available online following the event for everyone to access. There will be an opportunity for everyone to come together, socialise, share experiences of the day and meet new people in a social event at the closing of the day.
