Reverse rett

Eliza, my niece, has Rett Syndrome and even though she is a wee star, there are no treatments or cure, but there is hope. Estimated to affect 1:10,000 people, Rett Syndrome is most often seen in girls and women because the gene which causes Rett Syndrome is on the X chromosome. Most children and adults with Rett Syndrome are unable to speak, walk, or use their hands. Breathing problems, feeding tubes, seizures, anxiety, gastrointestinal, and orthopaedic issues are common.

Scientists are finding out more about the damaged MECP2 gene every day and every small amount raised for Reverse Rett helps. All the money raised through this page will go directly towards funding some of the best scientists in the world, and without these funds they are unable to continue the research that might one day give our much-loved little Eliza a brighter future.

Reverse Rett is a UK medical research charity working to speed treatments and find a cure for Rett Syndrome. Rett Syndrome has already been reversed in the lab and they help to fund cutting edge research.
