Hi, my name is Kye. I am a triathlete in my 7th year of competing. My sister Pia was diagnosed of Rett Syndrome at the age of 2. She cannot walk, talk, eat nor do many other things that we able bodied people take for granted. She goes through a lot including epilectic seizures, broken bones from osteopenea, chest infections and pneumonia, to name a few and a simple cold can send her to hospital, a
t times for an extended period of time. But when she is well, she is the happiest smiley little girl full of personality and attitude;) And she always accompany me and support me at all of my races. The idea of racing with her came up to me a while ago, but in November 2014, we raced our first event together at the Noosa Tingirana Special Triathlon. During our journey, we have raised awareness for Rett Syndrome and over US$7,000 were donated by our generous supporters for the research in the name of our project "TRI4cure". We had another successful year in 2015, raising US$1,780 for Rett Syndrome Research Trust. Now that the triathlon season is over for the Team TRI4cure, we have more exciting plans ahead including our first 10km run together. We would like to keep going and keep fighting, in hope that one day there will be a cure found for this debilitating disorder! Thank you for your ongoing support and I hope you can follow Pia and I in our journey!
