COM Stroll, Roll For Rett Fundraiser fights tragic illness. 0 n Sunday, May 2, the sec- ond annual "Stroll and Roll for Rett" will raise funds for medical research to fight crip- pling Rett Syndrome. The event, also known as "Michigan Rett Strollathon," will take place at Drake Sports Park, south of Maple Road on the east side of Drake in West Bloomfield. Registration is at Rachel at 18 9:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 10. The walk is in memory of Rachel Kopelman, a beloved sister, daughter, granddaughter and friend. Rachel, fondly remembered, passed away 10 years ago at age 20. While she was born with Rett Syndrome, she still managed to touch the hearts of many. Rett Syndrome (RTT), a brain disorder affecting development in childhood, affects almost exclusively females. Its features include the loss of speech and pur- poseful hand use as well as abnor- mal walking and breathing. No cure is known, but in 2008, research- ers heralded a breakthrough by reversing RTT symptoms in mouse models. Rachel's parents, Sandy and Jeff Kopelman of Franklin, and sis- ter and brother-in-law, Lisa and Aaron Fenberg of Commerce, have organized the Strollathon to assist Rett research. It is their hope with enough money and research, that there will one day be a cure for Rett Syndrome.
