• Niamh was such a wonderful, selfless woman that did everything for her family and those around her, especially her daughter Lauren who has Rett syndrome. Niamh did the Women's mini marathon in the past to fundraise for Rett Syndrome.

The Rett Syndrome Association of Ireland is an association of parents and families of people affected with Rett Syndrome and other related disorders.

 Rett Syndrome is a rare neurodevelopment disorder resulting in learning and physical disability. It affects girls almost exclusively. It often features repetitive and stereotypical hand gestures. The condition usually affects girls more than boys.

 We provide support and information to each other and to families who have received a new diagnosis
