Helene Czornyj

Helene helped set up the charity with her friend Carolyn – Rosie’s Mum in 2003. Helene’s young daughter Ella was severely disabled and suffered from the neurological condition Rett Syndrome. Before she became ill, Rosie had already helped Ella by co-writing and produced a musical to raise funds for special equipment Ella needed.  This was the beginning of Rosie’s Rainbow Funds extensive work with special needs children in schools and hospitals. Sadly Ella passed away in 2008 but Helene and Carolyn continue to lead the way on event fundraising in memory of both their special girls.
