Hi, I'm Reeva's dad, and I want to share the story of our incredible daughter and why as a family we're raising awareness and funds for children like her.

Reeva was born just like most children—healthy, full of life, and hitting all her milestones. But just before her first birthday, she became unwell with Covid and had her routine vaccinations. Not long after, we noticed something wasn’t quite right.

She began to slow down in her development. Months of uncertainty, worry, and countless appointments followed. Eventually, Reeva was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay—a condition that affects multiple areas of her development, including walking, talking, and learning.

Reeva is now 4 years old. She still faces many challenges daily, but her spirit is unshakable. She is bright, determined, and full of love. Every day, she shows us what true strength looks like.

Sadly, Global Developmental Delay is still not widely recognised or understood. Many families like ours struggle in silence, without the resources or awareness they need.

That’s why we’re raising funds—to support:

Awareness campaigns to help others understand what GDD is

Resources and therapies for families navigating the challenges

Support networks that offer hope, encouragement, and connection

If Reeva’s story has touched you, please consider donating or sharing this page. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us make a difference for children like Reeva and families like ours.

I will be broadcasting 8 different challenges in honour of this very soon - so keep an eye on this space...

Pictures and videos of each challenge will be shown on Instagram
