Elaina Donahue's Rett Run & Walk

Elaina Donahue, age 3, was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome in 2023. Rett Syndrome is a rare genetic mutation that affects brain development in girls. Elaina’s treatment plan will be long term and a hefty expense on her family. This Rett Walk is to raise awareness for all children diagnosed with Rett Syndrome and to raise funds to help her family with the expense of her healthcare in the future. 

This event is open to young and old, fast (runners) and slow (walkers)!  We would be honored by anyone that wants to show their support for Elaina on Sept 28th!   A special thank you to the City of Checotah for being the lead sponsor of this event and if your organization or business would like to be a sponsor please reach out to Mindy Whittle, mindydeannwhittle@icloud.com or 918-617-7458.
