The legacy of Judi Masters
Judi Masters was an incredible promoter of knowledge and information about Rett Syndrome. She engaged her community in supporting all children with Rett. She made amazing inroads into building this awareness. In fact many past and existing RMRA board of directors and volunteers got involved thanks to Judi’s tireless efforts.
After Judi passed away, RMRA decided to name the award in her honor for her efforts and legacy in promoting awareness and engagement around Rett Syndrome.
