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

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As many of you know, my sister Gemma unfortunately suffers from Rett Syndrome and has done all of her life and so once again I am trying to do something to help all the families that are affected by Rett Syndrome.

Rett Syndrome is a complex neurological disorder which mainly occurs in females and affects them throughout their lives. For more information regarding Rett Syndrome, please have a look on their website using the following link:

http://www.rettsyndrome.org.uk/

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RETT syndrome Association UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

All donations are massively appreciated and please pass this page on to anyone else that you think would like to donate to this very worthy cause.

Many Thanks

James
