Reverse Rett

There were an incredible number of nominations for the first Ruby Award 😍

Our five person panel had an incredibly difficult job choosing from so many exceptional people but finally, after much deliberation they cut the long list down to just three 💜

Deep appreciation to Ruby's family for working so closely with us and to the panel who gave up more of their time than you would imagine to get us to this stage.

A big shout out to everybody that took the time to nominate so many of our incredible fundraisers and supporters, we have all been blown away by the response to this new award 😍

The winner will be announced on October 24th at the Reverse Rett Scottish Gala at the Dunblane Hydro and will be presented to the winner by Ruby's mum, Sandra. It's going to be an emotional night 💜

It was another wonderful event yesterday at the Barclays Golf Day at Mersey Valley Golf and Country Club 😍

The yearly event was held for the first time in 2011, the year after Reverse Rett launched. It was first organised by Ray Holden whose relationship with Andy Stevenson got the ball rolling after Andy coached Ray to breaking 80 on the golf course 🤣

Since Ray's retirement it has been taken over by his former colleague Kayan Lau who has done a fantastic job carrying on Ray's legacy (though Ray still volunteers his services).

Yesterday, they were helped by Sophie Miller for the first time. Sophie's daughter, Charlotte was diagnosed with Rett syndrome in January last year so it was lovely to have her involved 😍

It was also great to have our two Rugby League ambassadors, Gary Chambers and Gaz O'Brien involved 🏉

Huge thank you to Kayan, Ray and everyone who has made this event so successful for so many years. To support a charity for as long as these guys have when you don't have a family member with Rett syndrome is truly special 💜
