About

Cevan & Riah are tying the knot! For wedding guests, your presence is our present and we are looking forward to having you with us to celebrate! We have been overwhelmed with generosity since our engagement. For this reason, we politely request no gifts. If you feel you still wish to gift something, we would appreciate any donations (no matter how small) to one of our chosen charities; Stand up to Cancer in memory of Colin, Cevan's Dad, and Reverse Rett in memory of Mary, Riah's Grandma. This is the page for making donations towards Reverse Rett. https://www.reverserett.org.uk/ Rett Syndrome is a post-natal neurological disorder, which most often affects little girls, around the age of 12-18 months. Most children and adults with Rett Syndrome are unable to speak, walk or use their hands. Breathing problems, feeding tubes, seizures, anxiety, gastrointestinal and orthopaedic issues are common. Rett Syndrome is most often caused by mutations on a gene called MECP2 on the X chromosome. The gene makes a protein which everyone needs for their brains to function properly, but people with Rett Syndrome do not have enough of this protein. In 2007, researchers at Edinburgh University proved that a cure for Rett Syndrome is possible. Reverse Rett are a patient advocacy and research organisation focused on delivering treatments and a cure for Rett Syndrome to everyone affected. Donations are open until Monday 13th March 2023, so please make any donations before then. About Givey: Thank you for visiting our Givey page.
