Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

10 of us riding 2012 miles making a total of 20,120 miles covered and raising £20,120 for RSRT.

Rett Syndrome is a debilitating disorder which most often strikes previously healthy little girls just after they have learned to walk and say a few words and begins to drag their development backwards.

As the cascade of Rett symptoms descends, girls lose acquired skills, normal movement and speech. Girls are left unable to communicate or use their hands to hold, carry or manipulate objects.

Over time, girls who have learned to walk often lose that ability as well. Loss of motor control sets in, essentially locking these girls into bodies that won't work, leaving them without the ability to make puroposeful movements

There are 10 of us taking this challenge. Please donate as much as you can. We want to raise a total of £20,120 for RSRT with this ride.

Thanks
