A psychic night in Dumbarton has proven to be a huge success, raising nearly £1,500 in funds to fight against ROHHAD, one of the world’s rarest conditions. Scottish mediums and psychics joined forces for the charity Evening of Mediumship event organised by the ROHHAD Association at the Denny Civic Theatre on October 11.
The charity, founded by Alexandria mum Lisa French, aims to find a cure for ROHHAD, a life-threatening condition affecting one in 44 million children, with Lisa’s son Aaron bravely battling the illness. This event was particularly special as it was organised by Kirsty McGregor Burns, a devoted charity supporter, who brought together a talented group of Scottish mediums and psychics to create a memorable experience for all attendees.
Lisa expressed her gratitude towards the community for their unwavering support, from donating home-baked goods and raffle prizes to purchasing tickets for the event. The night was a resounding success, with £1483.72 raised through the collective efforts of volunteers, participants, and attendees.
ROHHAD, which stands for Rapid Onset Obesity, with Hypoventilation, Hypothalamic Dysfunction, and Autonomic Nervous System Dysregulation, presents various challenges for affected children, impacting their weight, breathing, and overall health. The ROHHAD Association is at the forefront of funding crucial research by a team of global scientists, researchers, and physicians to find a cure for the syndrome.
Kirsty emphasised the importance of community support in funding research initiatives for ROHHAD, noting that events like this bring people together and offer hope for finding a cure. Lisa acknowledged the heartwarming display of love and support at the event and expressed gratitude to all supporters, underscoring the charity’s continuous efforts to raise awareness and funds for ROHHAD research.
The success of the psychic night underscores the power of a united community dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by ROHHAD. With events like these, the ROHHAD Association and its supporters move closer to realising the dream of finding a cure for this rare and challenging condition.
