He had a great ability to connect with people and shared his passion for life with everyone that he met.

Please join us as Tim Benke, MD PhD, Director, Rett syndrome Clinic, Children's Hospital Colorado, and Rettsyndrome.org Medical Advisor and Paige Nues, Director of Family Empowerment at Rettsyndrome.org to explore the clinical trials landscape outlook for 2020. This live webcast will be especially helpful to caregivers who are wondering if participating in a clinical trial could be an option for their family and how to become research-ready. We will discuss what clinical trials are enrolling, about to enroll, or have closed enrollment. We will also discuss enrollment criteria, what it means to participate in a trial, and hear from a panelist of parent trailblazers whose children have participated in a Rett syndrome clinical trial to hear how they did it. Questions and comments submitted in advance will be addressed, and there will be plenty of time for write-in questions during the session. RettEd Webcasts are a free resource designed to empower families affected by Rett syndrome and their care teams. Register Today

RettGetAway: Postponed
After much consideration, our RettGetAway committee has decided to postpone the June 2020 RettGetAway in San Diego. The health of our children is of utmost concern. Once it is deemed safe and sound to convene large groups in public spaces again, we will evaluate a future Rett GetAway. Many were working to create this ‘life without limits’ opportunity. A special thanks to the Kayla Mosca Foundation, Surfing Madonna, Surfin’ Fire, Merlin’s Magic Wand in association with Legoland San Diego, The Cassara Carlsbad by Hilton, our CA State Rep Sherri Brady, and ACADIA Pharmaceuticals. We hope that all of our families and partners emerge from this situation whole, intact, and able to plan an even more extraordinary RettGetAway! If you have made any travel bookings for the RettGetAway, we advise you to cancel them now while forgivable and with no penalty. Rettsyndrome.org will be returning the group Legoland tickets awarded by Merlin’s Magic Wand so that a future award can be made again to either our group or to individuals who may choose to apply at another time (they only allow one Magical Day Out per family, one time) We appreciate your understanding, and we hope that you all stay healthy and safe. Please direct any questions to Paige Nues at [email protected] or Jennifer Mosca at [email protected] LEARN MORE Subscribe to filtered calendar
