Only girls are affected by Rett. Many of those afflicted are wheelchair bound and unable to speak. \nBlue Sky Girls events are held around the world at multiple sites to increase awareness of the disease. The choice of a stair climb is symbolic\, as climbing raises one up and is a challenge. October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month. Many of the affected girls might not be able to climb stairs but they can learn from trying and can learn that help is at hand. For New York City’s event\, members of the FDNY have been asked to help the girls who need assistance in reaching the top of the stairs. \nTo learn more\, please click here.
