We’ll be sharing insights on this, and much more during our upcoming Town Hall Meeting – live-streamed – on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, at 12pm -1:30pm (CT).
Join us as Rettsyndrome.org and the Rett Clinic team at Texas Children’s Hospital discuss clinical care recommendations and appointments, clinical trials, the research process, and family empowerment opportunities.
Everyone can participate in this year’s Rett Ride Across America – no matter where you live or what your skill set! Whether you are 5 or 95, you can ride to end Rett!

Here are 3 ways to participate in this year’s Rett Ride:
- Virtual Ride: Host or participate in a Virtual Ride. Ride around your block, on your Peloton or stationary bike.
- Participate in the Gulf Coast Endurance Ride: Oct 3rd. You can select to ride 20, 50, 75, or the full ride!
- Community Ride: Create or participate in a Community Ride in your neighborhood, at school, with your church – anywhere! We recommend all community rides be placed on hold due to COVID-19.
