Team Courtney is lacing up our shoes and hitting the pavement with Team GP2C.  I am not a professional runner, not even a little bit.  Running is hard, jogging is hard. But what is even more difficult is watching your girl work so hard in everything she does.  Please help us help those fighting Rett Syndrome . As a family we are dedicated to raising awareness and money for Rett Syndrome research and know that if we all work together, a cure will be found!

Courtney was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome a little after her third birthday and began to have seizures along with other regressions a little after her fifth birthday. She also has extreme GI issues, borderline Long QT, and scoliosis to name a few. Rett Syndrome has taken away many things from our little girl like running, talking, and feeding herself, but it has not taken away her loving spirit and infectious laughter. She is our hero! She is smart, she is brave, she is funny and she teaches us to have so much patience and live life to the fullest. Our lives are full of love because of her!
