Description

We will be hosting our 4th annual “Miracle for Molly” event at The Merion in Cinnaminson, NJ on Thursday, May 2nd, 2019. The event is in honor of our beautiful 6-year old daughter, Molly, who was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome in March 2015. Our event last year had 250 guests and raised over $110,000. This year we are estimating even more guests and all monies raised will again be donated to Rett Syndrome Research Trust (RSRT). RSRT, a 501c3 non-profit, is singularly dedicated to spurring and supporting scientific research that will lead to a reversal of Rett.

Rett Syndrome is a severe neurological disorder that primarily affects girls and women. Its terrible symptoms usually strike by 18 months of age, leaving little girls disabled for their entire lives, or until research leads to treatments and a cure. Most children with Rett are unable to talk, walk or use their hands, and many suffer from seizures, scoliosis, and a host of other symptoms. Rett afflicts more than 350,000 girls and women around the world.

Remarkably, the symptoms of Rett have been reversed in mouse models, offering proof that this is a curable condition. But a significant investment in research is needed to translate a reversal in mice to a reversal in girls and women with Rett Syndrome.

Here is where YOU can help us fight for our daughter – Please consider being a sponsor, purchasing an ad or making a donation that can be used in the basket raffle/silent auction during our event.  We thank you in advance for your generosity.
