After 3 months of ticket sales for the Husqvarna 2007 SM610 we are delighted to have raised $18,550. We here at Maulla Inc thank everyone who worked with us in selling tickets. The Australian community and businesses have been generous in supporting our cause to help Matt Battista and Chloe Corfield.
Matt presented Maulla Inc with a worthy beneficery to donate funds to and we were introduced to 6 year old Chloe Corfield who has Rett Syndrome a unique developmental disorder that is first recognized in infancy and seen almost always in girls, but can be rarely seen in boys.
Funds will be donated to help fund home renovations to assist in Chloe’s ongoing care.

Rett syndrome has been most often misdiagnosed as autism, cerebral palsy, or non-specific developmental delay
Rett syndrome is caused by mutations on the X chromosome on a gene called MECP2. There are more than 200 different mutations found on the MECP2 gene. Most of these mutations are found in eight different “hot spots.”
Rett syndrome strikes all racial and ethnic groups, and occurs worldwide in 1 of every 10,000 to 23,000 female births.
Rett syndrome is a developmental disorder. It is not a degenerative disorder.
Rett syndrome causes problems in brain function that are responsible for cognitive, sensory, emotional, motor and autonomic function. These can include learning, speech, sensory sensations, mood, movement, breathing, cardiac function, and even chewing, swallowing, and digestion.
