A big thank you to everybody who has raised money for Rett Syndrome in the past couple of months, especially those who participated with their schools and businesses.
The Rett Syndrome Society of BC would like to thank Blue Mountain Elementary School in Maple Ridge for raising awareness about Rett Syndrome for the second year in a row!
We would also like to thank Megan Shewchuk from T’hekä Mixed Media for partnering with us during October for the fundraiser, and for all the work, effort, and love she put into making each of the toques. (see our October 18 news post)
Finally, we would like to thank Byrne Creek Community School for raising $200.00 this year in honour of a fellow classmate!
October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month! As it comes to an end, we want to feature the places that lit up yesterday (October 29th) for Rett Syndrome Awareness. Below is a slideshow of a few places in BC that we captured, as well as the list of places for all of Canada. Let us know if you noticed or visited a place in your neighbourhood that lit up! We are looking for more pictures and images for our website of places that lit up that we could not capture ourselves, and if you have some, please email them to info@rettbc.ca
