The theme for our top three this week is Rett Syndrome in the news. We start with an 8 year old who had the opportunity to be signed on the Alabama State University's Lady Hornet Softball Team. Our second news is about a special awareness art piece that you can be part of and that created by an artist who has Rett syndrome. And finally we share about a family in the UK who found their child's diagnosis through the 100,000 Genomes Project. All link to articlescan be found below.

This week we chat with Karely Boczek. Karely comes to us from Australia to chat about her daughter Charlotte who has atypical Rett Syndrome. Charlotte is an incredible 7 year old who loves school, swimming and music. Karely shares what it is like for her family to have a loved one with atypical Rett, which can sometimes make it harder to relate to other families with Rett. If you would like to get in contact with Karely you can find her on Instagram at The Voice of Our Charlotte.
If you are a newly diagnosed family, you can find loads of information regarding Rett Syndrome on our website (linked below), including links to various foundations and support groups worldwide. And, of course, feel free to reach out to us; we love connecting with new families!
