Eid has a daughter (not shown) with Rett syndrome.
He is the only team participant who has a child with
Rett syndrome. The kindness and braveness of all of
those who participated in this charity event for Rett
syndrome shows the "true kindness of strangers"
who have since become part of that determined group
who are helping us all to find a cure for Rett syndrome.
