A five-year-old girl named Rosie has launched a unique scooter challenge to support her close friend, Sid, who is also five years old and lives with spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (SMA1). This rare genetic condition affects mobility and requires Sid to use a wheelchair. Rosie, upon learning about Sid's difficulties, felt compelled to help her friend. Her mother, Michelle, sought a way for Rosie to contribute, considering her young age. Together, they decided Rosie would undertake a significant 6.8km scooter challenge, completing a lap around Leybourne Lakes Country Park. Rosie plans to complete this notable distance while wearing her favorite princess dress, demonstrating remarkable kindness and determination.
