This year, on September 13th, my family and I are taking part in the Edinburgh Kiltwalk- Wee Wander (4.5 miles) as a celebration of my daughter Dionne, who turns 18 on September 9th. We couldn’t think of a better way to mark this milestone than by coming together with our Rett community to raise vital funds and awareness for the charity that means so much to our family.

And I want to invite you to join us on that very special day.

We’ll be walking together as a family, and we’re delighted that Cesar, Virginia and the beautiful Valentina will also be taking part, supported by a fantastic team of 25 friends and family.

It would be incredible if more Rett families could join us and help turn the day into a real Reverse Rett family celebration. 

Whether you walk with your child, push a wheelchair, bring siblings, grandparents or friends, everyone is welcome. The Kiltwalk is a wonderful opportunity to spend time together, meet other families who truly understand the Rett journey, and show Scotland the strength and spirit of our community. 

Every step we take will help fund the our work at Reverse Rett.

If you’ve been thinking about taking part in a fundraising event, this is the perfect opportunity. We’d love to see as many Reverse Rett t-shirts and smiling faces as possible crossing that finish line. 

If you’re interested in joining us or would like more information about registering for the Edinburgh Kiltwalk, please get in touch. It would be fantastic to have you with us.

 We hope to see you in Edinburgh on 13th September

Together, let’s make Dionne’s 18th birthday celebration one to remember and create a very special day for the entire Reverse Rett family.
