2 yrs ago we lost our son Henry to Rett Syndrome. We will always love him. Here is Henry before his condition worsened. Diseases like Rett are DNA typos. They can be fixed. Pls support genetic research for Henry and everyone still coping with these terrible diseases Mary Engel
Henry brightened up when I came home. Don’t underestimate children with conditions like Rett. Mary and I firmly believe Henry was brilliant, funny, sweet. People with disabilities need a leg up in the world, and extra love and attention. But don’t we all sometimes? Mary Engel
