lives of people living with Parkinson's disease. We fund innovative
research that will make lives better today while working to prevent and
cure this crippling disease tomorrow.

The goal of the Rett Syndrome Research Trust is to deliver clinical trials of a novel treatment strategy within five years.
Every five hours a girl is born with Rett Syndrome! Rett Syndrome (RS) is a neurological disorder that primarily affects your girls and women. For the first year or so, the girls with RS seem perfectly normal, but then they can lose the ability to walk, talk and use their hands properly. As the girls grow older, they often develop seizures, breathing disorders, scoliosis, and other difficulties. There currently is no known cure or treatment, but there is hope. On February 8th 2007, a breakthrough discovery was announced. Scientists have reversed the symptoms of RS in mice, giving us all hope that this can also be done for girls suffering from RS.

changing tomorrow to ensure a world free of sexual assault.
