Bill > HR115

This resolution commends the International Rett Syndrome Foundation for its work supporting individuals with Rett syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder primarily affecting young girls, which causes developmental impairments in speech and coordination, often leading to loss of motor skills, speech, and other serious health issues. The foundation is recognized as the leading organization for research, family support, and advocacy, working to find a cure and improve the lives of those affected, especially as new treatments emerge and research suggests potential for symptom reversal. The resolution also acknowledges the foundation's efforts in raising awareness, particularly during Rett Syndrome Awareness Month each October, and expresses admiration for their dedication to the health and wellness of Virginians.
