Places to Go, Things to Do
Hey guys! A few weeks ago, bodycology sent me their latest products to review, the Rich and Creamy Body Wash and Lotion. It’s like a spa in a bottle and I am officially addicted. Head on over to my MC Reviews website today and enter to win an awesome bodycology Gift Basket!
Also, if you’re in the do-good state of mind today, I’d love to ask for your help for a friend of mine from church. Her daughter has just been diagnosed with Rett Disease, a rare neurological disorder that means she will be dependent on her parents for the rest of her life. This is such a sweet family and a diagnosis like this is beyond belief. But, true to form, they are rallying around their daughter and are looking for ways they can make her life a little easier. And there’s actually something YOU can do to help them! The International Rett Syndrome Foundation has entered to win a charity contest sponsored by the Vivint Gives Back Project.
Here’s how it works:
1. Go to the Vivint Gives Back Project page on Facebook by clicking here.
2. Then, head over to the Vivint Gives Back Project homepage by clicking here.
3. Next, scroll down the page until you see the list of charities you can vote for. If you’re so inclined to help a sweet family that you don’t know, choose charity #4 – the International Rett Syndrome Foundation.
4. Once you read a little about the disease and the foundation, scroll to the bottom of that page and click VOTE. (My picture is gray and says “Voted,” but yours will be orange and will say “Vote.”)
5. Finally, be sure to publish your vote to your Facebook page so that you can encourage your friends and family to go vote for the International Rett Syndrome Foundation.
Thanks so much for your help! The Rett Foundation is so close to finding a cure for this disease and with your help, that might be possible in my sweet, little friend’s lifetime.
Now, you all have done your good deed for the day. Class dismissed!

I’ll be doing this when I get home from work today (no access to FB in the office). Thanks for being awesome Katie and helping support charities like this.

Oh my. Heartbreaking. I’m thankful you shared with us. Maybe with the help of others a cure for this disease will be found very soon.

Many prayers for their family.

DONE! Keeping them in my prayers!

Done and done! I just saw a show on Discovery Fit & Health about ER cases and a girl on there was misdiagnosed with Rett syndrome.
How devastating to this young family. They are in my prayers.

Thank you for putting this on your blog. A dear friend’s daughter has Rett Syndrome. She is now in her late teens.
