I am walking in the Strollathon, Rettsyndrome.org’s signature fundraising and awareness event, to raise money for essential research of effective treatments and to find a cure for Rett syndrome. This casual stroll has a fun and energetic festival atmosphere. 

My grand daughter Ju'Ella was diagnosed with rett syndrome when she was 18 months old.  Ju'Ella is a 2 year old that has failed to meet several important milestones such as crawling, walking, and talking. She is currently receives physical, occupational, and speech therapy to assist in meeting these milestones.

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. 

Your donation will help fund important research and family support. 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! Your help is our hope!
