“Very Special Kids is the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me"
- Steph, 13-years-old
Thirteen-year-old Steph has been in and out of hospital her whole life. At 10-weeks-old Steph was diagnosed with nystagmus. Then after years of extensive nerve damage the family received news that she has mitochondrial disease, a debilitating and potentially fatal condition.
“With how much Rich has given to the BFT network, our involvement to support Very Special Kids and the Burnet family is our way to give back.”
- Team BFT, Virtual Challenge Participants 2021
In 2021 the BFT team was inspired to join the DIY challenge because of the personal connection that BFT’s co-CEO, Richard Burnet, has with Very Special Kids. Rich’s two eldest children, Sebastian and Charlie, were diagnosed with a rare illness which has led to a long relationship between the Burnet family and Very Special Kids.
