Mold Construction
Ship of Dreams
The Double Helix was built in honor of Amanda Eid and all of those who have Rett Syndrome, to serve as a the flagship for the Great Mississippi River Race for Rett Syndrome, May 2001. The Double Helix was paddled by Clark Eid ( Amanda Eid's father, and chairman of this charity event) and Kurt Zimmermann during the race. The Double Helix was publicly placed at the world-class Morial Convention Center in New Orleans from 2006 to 2017. It was moved to a new museum on the river in Tennessee - the Tunica RiverPark & Museum - so that we can continue to raise awareness of Rett Syndrome to the general public. Final preparations are being made to extend the exhibit to other records that have been set for human-powered racing of the Mississippi RIver.
