$50,000!

Actually, we are now at $51,000 with exactly one week to go. We can't believe the generosity that so many people have shown. So if you know anyone that may still want to contribute (or even just wants to come to the party), please send them to this website and have them go to the invitation link. They can even pay online if they would like here.

If you don't have plans next Friday night why not donate some money and come to a great party with all of the friends of the Moroney family.

We have passed $40,000



As of November 3rd, we have raised more than $40,000 ($3,100 online) for Shannon. We are less than two weeks to go and there is still time to donate if you haven't yet. If would like to donate, you can by clicking the ChipIn! button and do it right online. You can also mail a check. Click on the invitation on the right of the page and fill out the RSVP card and send it in.

Now at $33,000 and Growing Fast


As of October 29th, we have now raised over $33,000 with a little more than two weeks to go until the big night. Note: We know most of you are not Buddhist but the quote above is pretty good. Thank you to all that have donated and to those that plan to; Thank you to you in advance for planning on doing so.

If you know someone that might be interested, please send them a link to this website and let them know that they can donate and even RSVP right here.

$22,000 and Growing!

We are over $22,000 in donations between the online and mailed in donations. Thank you to all that have given so far. If you have not given so far and are considering it, please do. We know the final weeks push should put us close to our goal of $100,000. Check back and we will keep you up to date on our progress. We hope to see you on the November 16th!

Less than a Month to go

We are less than a month away from this wonderful event. We are finalizing the event and so far Kathleen and Dan are unaware of the big night. Please, let's try and keep the night a SECRET!

If you have not sent in your RSVP, please do so by November 1st. If you can't make it, thank you in advance for making a donation to our wonderful friends - the Moroneys. Your support will make Shannon's life just that much easier.

Invitations are out!

Invitations for this great event are out and you can get a copy of it here. Remember the night is November 16th. Please pass it along to anyone you know who may want to participate in this great event for wonderful friends.

What is Rett Syndrome?

Rett Syndrome is a severe neurological disease that is the most physically disabling of the autism spectrum disorders. Caused by mutations in the gene MECP2, Rett Syndrome affects primarily girls, striking at random in early childhood and destroying speech, normal movement and functional hand use. Many with Rett Syndrome become wheelchair bound; those who walk display an abnormal, stiff-legged gait. Disordered breathing patterns, tremors, and seizures are common. Rett Syndrome is named after Dr. Andreas Rett, the Austrian pediatrician who first published scientific papers about this disorder.
