Family members and friends hiking to raise money for charities dear to our hearts:
Fundraising pageI’m doing this to raise money for two charities who support my nieces and our family Aimee. For Aimee I’m raising money for Rett UK. Aimee has Rett syndrome which is a rare neurological disorder affecting mainly females and very few males. It is present from conception and usually remains undetected until major regression occurs at around one year of age, when children may lose acquired skills and become withdrawn. Aimee is amazing, despite her condition she works hard to communicate with everyone, loves her friends and family, Disney movies, roast dinners, music and of course slides! Connie. For Connie I’m raising money for Little Hearts Matter. Connie was born with effectively half a heart that was back to front. She’s been through several operations in her first few years to amend her arteries and heart as she grows. Connie is an incredibly brave and resilient little girl, interested in everything and despite the fact its very tiring for her she loves to ride her bike. They’re both super heroes in my book and so I’m going doing this grueling challenge to raise awareness and some cash for those who help them.
