All donors will receive a receipt they can use for tax purposes. Our EIN is: 20-8011668.
What is Rett Syndrome?
Rett Syndrome is the most severe of the Autism Spectrum Disorders. It predominantly affects girls.
This devastating neurological disorder robs the girls of speech, purposeful hand movement, the
ability to walk and plagues their lives with countless struggles with uncontrollable seizures, digestive
complications and sleep deprivation. Approximately one girl is born with Rett Syndrome every five
hours. It is as common as Cystic Fibrosis, ALS and Huntington's Disease.
