The song release of “Ella’s Hope”, by the London duo, The Luck, is a powerful ballad about a five-year-old little girl living with a severe rare neurological condition known as Rett Syndrome and her journey for a cure.

The symptoms are severe. Imagine symptoms of autism, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s, epilepsy and anxiety disorder, all in one little girl.

“It is really something special when a remarkably talented duo from London reaches out across the globe to a little girl in the U.S. Virgin Islands and passionately commits to raising awareness for a Rett Syndrome cure, ” Shaine Gaspard, Ella’s dad said in a release.

And then, it is pure magic, when they deliver on that promise in such a powerful, beautiful and creative way. The Luck will always be connected to Ella and every little girl just like her, in a very extraordinary way,” he said.

Ella’s Hope is releasing on Ella’s 5th birthday, which is April 12.

“We cannot think of a better celebration of her and a future full of recovery and joy.“ says Lauren Bannon-Gaspard, Ella’s mother, a native of Northern Ireland.
