Keegan and Avery's 6th Annual Lemonade STAND for Rett Syndrome in Honor of Their Sister Keilly

Keegan and Avery McMahan invite you (and hope that you'll come) to their lemonade stand fundraiser to help find a cure for Rett syndrome. Their big sister Keilly suffers from Rett syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that mainly afflicts girls, robbing her of her ability to speak, have functional hand use, breathing abnormalities, seizures, or to be able to care for herself in any way. She is completely reliant on others to survive. 

Keegan, 11 yrs old and Avery, 7 yrs old, have high hopes of raising a lot of money to donate to Rett syndrome research and to also bring awareness to this rare disorder. In addition to our lemonade stand on August 17th at our home, we've set up a Virtual Lemonade Stand online. So if you can't attend the event on Saturday, you can still support Keegan and Avery's efforts by visiting our Virtual Lemonade Stand and making a contribution online. Here is the link and we hope that you will consider making a donation!
