WHAT IS RETT SYNDROME?

Quick Facts

Debilitating neurological (movement) disorder that predominantly affects females.

Baby girls are born "normal" but begin to lose acquired skills between the ages of 1-3 years old.

Caused by a single gene mutation that leads to underproduction of an important brain protein.

The most severe form of autism.

The leading genetic cause of severe impairment in girls - most cannot speak, walk or use their hands.

Despite their physical disabilities, girls with Rett Syndrome are believed to be functioning mentally
at a much higher level than previously thought.

As prevalent as Cystic Fibrosis, ALS and Huntington's.

Another little girl is born with Rett Syndrome every 90 minutes.

Rett Syndrome is a potentially REVERSIBLE disorder.

Research has proven once protein levels are back to normal levels, symptoms subside.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Get ready to DIG DEEP and help us "plant" flowers to raise awareness and research funds for Rett Syndrome. We are looking for stores, restaurants, banks, salons and events to HOST a Garden of Hope. We are looking for volunteers like families and girls' organizations to PLANT Gardens of Hope. And, we need SPONSORS for every Garden of Hope to grow!

You've seen shamrocks, sneakers and hot air balloons that you sign in exchange for a $1 donation...we have paper FLOWERS!  Together these flowers create a "Garden of Hope." Help us GROW these funds into even more money for research!
