First Grand Rapids Stroll-A-Thon for Rett Syndrome is This Sunday

The Strollathon, this Sunday, October 14th, is the signature event of the International Rett Syndrome Foundation (IRSF). This fun-filled family event, led by local volunteers, raises crucial research dollars and public awareness of Rett syndrome (RTT).

Johnson Park, in Walker on Butterworth, is the place, from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

Across the country, IRSF volunteers and families have helped raise over $6.8 million, and have grown the Strollathon program from four events to a planned 22 events in at least 25 locations this year, with Grand Rapids being the newest.

This Sunday, October 14th, brings together the children and women living with Rett syndrome, their families and support systems, and the community for a fun day that includes music, food and plenty of children’s activities.
