Evie with her Grandfather and Father

Evie with her Grandfather and Father

PAGE CREATOR:	Phil Palmer
EVENT:	Cycling London to Paris
EVENT DATE:	26/6/2009

I intend to participate in a charity fund raiser by cycling from London to Paris next year. This is an incentive for me as a 74 year old to keep fit. So far I have collected over a thousand pounds in sponsorship for the UK Rett Association I would also like to help Rett NZ.
There are several things I have learnt as grandparent of Evie .
There is considerable ignorance within the medical profession about Rett Syndrome. There is a need to the profile of Rett Syndrome with the doctors and the public. Media interviews are one approach. Fund-raising would benefit the Association, and at the same time help to raise awareness.
The earlier the diagnosis is made the quicker parents are able to adjust to the situation. I regard the delay of over 12 months reaching the diagnosis for Evie as too long.
While medical and ancillary services are important, parents of Rett children can gain much from discussing their experiences between each other.
There is a need for effective group advocacy. There are special needs for bringing up a Rett child which are unique to the condition.
Rett NZ have the opportunity to bring Dr Susan Norwell an outstanding Professional on Communication techniques next May. Please help with this great project to enable families to benefit from her knowledge.
