Welcome to our 7th Annual Ashley Simard Fundraiser for Rett Syndrome!

Ashley’s fundraiser was created in memory of Ashley Bernadette Simard. Ashley is Lisa and Bob’s daughter, and Grant’s sister, who passed away from Rett Syndrome in 2019.

Each year for her birthday, we hold a fundraising event in her memory and donate all the proceeds to the Rett Syndrome Research Trust to help find a cure.

Join us as we celebrate Ashley’s birthday and continue our mission to end Rett Syndrome.

If you’ve been here before, you know we traditionally host a 5K walk in memory of Ashley. A way to come together, move with purpose, and celebrate her life.

While our hosts will be completing their traditional 5K walk on Ashley’s birthday, June 18th, we welcome everyone to participate in whatever way feels meaningful to you, whether that’s walking, running, biking, or simply taking a moment to reflect and share Ashley’s story with others.

Whether you’re walking with us in Miami or supporting from afar, your participation helps keep Ashley’s spirit and legacy alive.

Make a difference today by donating to help find a cure for Rett Syndrome. Every dollar goes directly to the Rett Syndrome Research Trust, funding life-changing research that brings us one step closer to a world without Rett. If you’d like to join us for the 5K walk in Miami or complete your own walk wherever you are, we’d love to see you wearing purple! Share your photos on Facebook or Instagram to connect with Ashley’s family and our growing community of supporters.

Remember, this fundraiser is about celebrating Ashley’s life, spreading joy on her birthday, and working together toward a cure.

We continue this tradition because YOU CAN make a difference. As always, we will never stop fighting for a cure, and we will never stop celebrating you, Ashley!
