Lucy, a 14-year-old living with Rett syndrome, and her parents, Matthew and Anna, share their journey.  It is a story of joy and hope, of strength and dedication, but mostly, it is a story of love.

Matthew and Anna have worked tirelessly to surround Lucy with an enriched environment that includes a community of educators, therapists, and others who share their commitment to helping Lucy “be the best Lucy she can be.” Their resolve has taken Lucy to high school, mountain climbing, skiing, and horseback riding—experiences any child might have.
