My name is Ella and I am eleven years old.  When I was two and a half I was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome.  I stopped speaking and have lost the use of my right hand.  I get very anxious and have very little understanding of the world.  I am still able to walk about at the moment but that may change, similarly I can still eat without the use of a tube but that may also change.  I have symptoms of Cerebral Palsy, Parkinsons and Autism, as well as other challenges that Rett Syndrome produces.

I am generally a happy little girl who likes very much to be around my twin sister Jess and the rest of my family.  My Mummy says I bring joy to everyone I meet with my beautiful smile and infectious giggle.

Please donate as much as you can afford to Rett  Syndrome Research Trust UK to help find a cure for me and all the other girls out there suffering from this terrible disorder.  

Thank you.  Ella x
