April is Autism Awareness Month and Rett Syndrome is the most severe form of autism. It is a debilitating neurological disorder that primarily affects girls.
Ingrid Love Harding, whose beautiful daughter, Sarah, suffers from Rett syndrome, founded an organization to promote awareness and raise money for research called, Girl Power2 Cure, Inc. So impressed by the warmth and understanding Sarah received from the girls in her kindergarten class the first day of school, Ingrid realized that it would be this powerful generation of girls that would help her raise awareness and find a cure, thus Girl Power 2 Cure was begun.
I admire Ingrid's strength and tenacity as she devotes her time and energy to bring about awareness and foster positive change. She is a role model for other parents who have a child with a disability, but she is also a leader in promoting and creating programs to find a cure.
Please visit the website and learn more about Rett Syndrome and discover ways you can help as a individual or a group. We will be planting a Garden of Hope at Tower Hill School. Hopefully you can do the same. Visit:www.girlpower2cure.org
