This is the 10th year that I am personally involved in the Rett Syndrome Strollathon. We are walking in honor of our niece, Michelle Albanese, who has Rett Syndrome. - Michelle is now 19 years old and was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome in 2006. She is a beautiful young lady and our family works very hard to someday find a cure for RETT.  YOUR HELP IS OUR HOPE!

This cause is very important to me and I appreciate your help as we fight for a cure for Rett syndrome! Please join me or donate to my efforts to support Rettsyndrome.org in finding a cure!

Rett syndrome is a genetic neurological disorder occurring almost exclusively in females and becoming apparent after 6-18 months of early normal development. The resulting regression leads to lifelong impairments, including lost speech, seizures, scoliosis, irregular breathing patterns, and more than half of the children and women lose the ability to walk. Those diagnosed with Rett syndrome require maximum assistance with basic daily activities.
