Raising money for

RETT syndrome Association UK

Charity Registration No. 327309

Rett syndrome is a rare neurological disorder affecting mainly females and very few males. People with Rett syndrome have profound and multiple physical and learning disabilities and are totally reliant on others for support throughout their lives.

Imagine a healthy baby girl start to become a little person; smiling at 6 weeks, picking things up when she’s 7 months old and at 10 months, she’s crawling her way into everything. Imagine her 1st birthday; she sits up without help and smiles at the camera - even saying her own version of “cheese.”

Now imagine that same baby at age 2. She can no longer sit unaided, stops using her hands to do things and starts wringing them all the time. She starts having seizures and by the time she’s 3, she is grinding her teeth and stops talking. At 6, her spine starts to curve, limiting how well she can move. She screams and laughs during the night for no reason and doesn’t respond to or interact with others. By her 8th birthday, she can’t move on her own, can’t talk and pulls away from social contact with others. This is the reality for parents with children who have Rett syndrome. RSAUK is a national charity seeking to make a difference for people living with Rett syndrome by:

Funding research
Supporting families through telephone support, clinics and our network of support advisers
Providing latest information and best practice
Promoting awareness

My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. Though I completed the Marathon Moonwalk last year (see picture on left) that was a powerwalk and this is the first time I have attempted a 10K distance run. Even more challenging, though I hate to say it, is the fact that I am classified as a veteran! So come on, give the old girl something to run for and help me raise funds for the Rett Syndrome Association.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RETT syndrome Association UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
