Project 401

25 January 2012 Families of individuals with MECP2 Duplication Syndrome have formed Project 401. The goal of the project is to raise $80,000 by April 1, 2012 to make a down payment on a research project that represents an important first step toward treatment for MECP2 Duplication Syndrome. The name project 401 alludes both to the date 4-01 (April First) and the amount ($401) that each of 200 family members is hoping to raise or contribute in the next two months. Donations are being collected through the Rett Syndrome Research Trust, and the presence of Paypal donation buttons on the Project 401 site make it easy for anyone to make a contribution of any size. If you want to help support this effort, this is a great way to do it.
