Christine is a busy mom living in Brooklyn, working full time in a job that she loves and raising her sweet little L — the sweetest, prettiest, funniest, hardest working, smartest, bravest 4-year-old out there who happens to have Rett syndrome. Rett syndrome is a neurological disorder that an estimated 350,000 people globally, including about 16,000 in the U.S., have. Those affected can experience multiple symptoms that leave them dependent on 24-hour-a-day care. While no cure exists yet, research on Rett Syndrome has progressed so that therapies and potentially a cure may be possible in the future.
