Rett Syndrome Awareness Month

These home movies were taken before Rett Syndrome began to take away Brooklyn's ability to walk, crawl, talk, and feed herself. It hurts beyond any words that I could type here in this blog. During October, since it is Rett Syndrome Awareness month, I of course try my best to spread the word about Rett to make as many people "aware" as possible. But to be honest, that is not enough for me. Watching these videos reminds me how much my daughter has had taken away from her, how much she now has to struggle because Rett Syndrome no longer lets her body and brain communicate the way they should. Seeing these reminds me why I joined forces with Girl Power 2 Cure and their fight for OUR cure. I am sure there are those of you out there sick to death of my plea to help fund research but if it was YOUR daughter who could not run and play and talk to you I know without a doubt you would be begging, pleading, crying just as I am...because the research is being done that will give us our treatments, our cure but it is not cheap. In fact it is expensive - REALLY REALLY expensive. These girls need your support, their parents need your support! Every dollar gets us one step closer. Will you help?
