Celebrate Sara


Fuddrucker's
6100 Wade Hampton Blvd
Greer, SC 29651

October 30th 5pm to 8pm

We are holding a fundraiser to benefit Rett Syndrome Research, in honor of our Daughter Sara. She is eight years old & has Rett Syndrome. It has caused many complications in her life and left her completely dependent on us for her care. She has had a hard past year, and we want to celebrate her life, her strength, her wonderful personality and the fact that she is still here with us. God is so good!

Come join us for burgers, and meet Sara. We will have raffle prizes, tickets are a dollar each, as well as a silent auction. The proceeds and ten percent of the cost of your meal will be donated to the Rett Syndrome Research Trust. There will also be an Avon book you can order from and 40% of sales from that will go towards our cause.

Rett Syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes children, mostly girls, to lose all of their skills around 18 - 24 months old. Children who could walk, stand, run, jump, crawl, sit up, and even talk - lose all of those skills. Loss of muscle tone causes the loss of their hands to even hold a toy. Some kids are no longer able to chew or swallow and need a feeding tube. Most kids have severe reflux and constipation issues. Seizures, severe scoliosis and breath holding are common with this disorder. The worst part is the loss of speech. Kids who could talk suddenly can’t speak anymore, the lucky ones can hold onto a few words. These kids are mentally fine and they need our help. A cure has already been found in mice. There are several other promising studies going on that leads scientists to believe Rett Syndrome WILL be cured. We simply need research money. So come join us at Fuddrucker's, and help us.

Children with Rett Syndrome deserve a chance at life.
