Market Stall Fundraiser

Because MecP2 Duplication is so unknown at this point research labs with Dr’s working on the Mecp2 gene research receive very little financial support we have been trying to find different ways to raise money to go towards current Australian research.

In November this year we will be holding a market stall at Chandler markets to sell craft items and other little bits and pieces. The Chandler markets organizers have offered us a market place at no charge as all money made will be going directly to the research.

Friends and family have been pitching in by creating homemade items to donate to the stall and also passing on our request for handmade craft items to businesses and individual artist in the local area.

We have had great response to our request and many are coming on board to donate what they can.

Our stall will also include information flyers about MecP2 duplication and a donation tin.


We will be applying for a Sanction for the fundraising, so everything will be done legally, we will be properly audited and have to provide proof of funds raised and show where the money is donated. This will help keep everyone assured that everything is legitimate, and that donations made are donated to where we say they are going to go.

(In the future we have plans to start up the first Australian MecP2 Duplication Organisation, we then be able to continue regular fundraising events through this organisation)

We have been in contact with Australian researches who are currently focusing on the MecP2 gene(including RETTS) and discussing what they are currently undertaking in regards to MecP2 Duplication, and how our money will help. We have received a lot of information from the researchers and they are very grateful and excited about our efforts to raise money to assist them.

I will endeavor to put this information together and post it on this blog.

I will also be posting regular updates on the progress of the fundraiser.

Thanks again for all your support.
