On 5th October I am taking part in the Great Scottish Run half marathon to raise funds for Reverse Rett. Rett Syndrome is a devastating neurological condition that primarily affects girls - imagine the symptoms of autism, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's, epilepsy and anxiety disorders, all at the same time.

Reverse Rett is a parent-driven charity that is working to accelerate treatments and cures for those with Rett Syndrome, like my friends' 9-year old daughter Romi.

Please dig deep and, for an amazing insight into living with Rett Syndrome, please follow Romi's mum's blog at http://rettisa4letterword.wordpress.com/
