with a rare spine condition on Sunday.

Brothers Nicholas and Kenny Thomson came up with the idea to gather their friends and kick-scooter from Sandys to St. George's to raise money for Midhi Brock -- a three-year-old boy with a diease that continually bends his spine, threatening his life.

The boys will begin at 6 a.m. on Sunday at the Clocktower Mall in Dockyard and ride to Town Square, St. George's.

"It brought tears to my eyes,'' said parent and event spokesman Steve Thomson, "when my children, who played with Midhi, approached me with their idea''.

Nicholas, 8, Kenny, 7, and friends will ride in relay segments across the Island, one or two at a time.

In the relay are: Dominic and Jonathan White, who are 9 and 11, Timmy Fox, 9, Kristiann Hansen, 6, Mark and David Selley and Damian and Kilian Elkinson.

A welcome reception and lunch is scheduled at the Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo halfway along the ride.

In addition, there will be a special dive in the North Rock tank by Jens Hansen in aid of Midhi.

There will be only one or two children on the road at a time and safety measures will constantly surround them.

All children will be required to wear safety gear such as knee pads and helmets and one adult on a bicycle will ride alongside.

Midhi Brock suffers from Kyphoscoliosis -- a severe condition of a continually bending spine.

Recent charitable efforts funded Midhi's trip to Vancouver to receive hyperbaric oxygen treatments over several months.

A recent fund-raising letter read: "Miraculously, Midhi who could not speak a word prior to the treatments, now speaks over 30 words.

"But tragically, although beginning to speak, a recent MRI scan in Boston revealed that his spinal curvature is occurring more rapidly than originally thought.

"His spinal curvature is now at 57 percent with a permanent damage occurring at 60 percent.'' Sponsors can pick up forms at Mailboxes Unlimited on Par-la-Ville Road or Mailboxes on Church Street.
