Whilst sitting next to Rita’s incubator, Fadi had the idea to raise money by doing a Ride for Rita, being a doctor himself, he decided that the ride would visit the highest-level neonatal units in Scotland, those that look after the sickest babies like Rita. And because Rita had Edwards Syndrome, or Trisomy-18, an initial funding target of £18,000 was set to honour her. Fadi had initially planned to cycle alone, a dad cycling for his daughter, but a group of close family and friends have banded together and there will be 7 cyclists doing the full ride with more cyclists joining on the last day- like Rita’s mum and grandma! Beginning in Aberdeen on 22nd July, the cyclists will follow the coastline to Edinburgh crossing the country and finishing the ride on 26th July at Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow, where Rita was treated- a total of 210 miles.
