Story

As I approach my 66th birthday, I am embarking on a personal trek that holds great significance for me and for many others. I plan to run 1000 miles in just 66 days, starting on September 1, 2025. This journey is not just about the miles; it is about raising vital funds for Reverse Rett, a charity that is desperately seeking support to continue their crucial gene therapy trials.

The reality of Rett syndrome is heartbreaking. Without a cure, countless children will face a future where they may never walk, talk, or feed themselves. It is a condition that robs them of their potential and their joy. This cause resonates deeply with me because I believe every child deserves the chance to thrive and experience life fully.

I am reaching out to you today with an earnest request: please consider supporting my fundraising efforts. My target is to raise £1,500 to help Reverse Rett in their mission. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these children who cannot advocate for themselves. Your generosity can help pave the way for hope and healing. Thank you for your support! 💜
