What does it mean to have brittle bones?

Imagine if using the computer mouse as you just did, or having a cuddle could break your bones.

Living constantly with the threat of breaking bones from turning over in bed, or bumping into someone in the street, from playing football or stubbing your toe is not easy. Daily life for a child with brittle bone disease means childhood can be a painful experience.

For some the risks are less severe, but every child can, with your help, experience freedom and independence. Specially adapted trikes and go-karts enable mobility giving the chance to enjoy the exhilaration of safe independent movement.

You can help children with brittle bones live fuller lives by sponsoring this ride.
