Meet Ada

Ada with her family at Parallel Windsor.

Ada is a nine-year-old with leukodystrophy, a condition that causes difficulties with her motor skills, speech and balance.

Her family came to Variety to help them fund a specialist car seat that would support her neck and keep her safe on car journeys, which we gladly supported.

We also invited Ada and her family to take part in Parallel Windsor, an accessible challenge event for all abilities.

At her first event in 2023, Ada stole the crowd’s hearts as she completed a remarkable achievement, walking the 100m challenge. Ada has participated every year since.
