Caring

On Saturday we will leave the cani e gatti and cruise for a cause - Rett Syndrome. According to the Rett Syndrome Association of Massachusetts, "Rett syndrome is a childhood neuro-developmental disorder seen primarily in girls and women in all racial and ethnic groups worldwide. Rett syndrome affects about 1 in 10,000 females. Rett syndrome leaves all children dependent on others for all of their basic needs such as feeding, dressing, bathing, and toileting."

But with research there is hope and tomorrow's cruise is a fundraiser to raise monies to support Rett research. All across the country there are groups fundraising for research- check out the International Rett Syndrome Foundation for a group in your area. And for pure inspiration, visit Girlpower2cure.
