Every child deserves the chance to smile, to dream, and to live without the weight of a rare disease. There are great organizations that we are partnered with such as @ntsad , @mathewforbesromerfoundation , and @curetaysachs_foundation who are working to make that a reality by funding life-changing gene therapy research. Because behind every breakthrough is a child who gets to experience more laughter, more milestones, and more moments of pure joy

Progress in rare disease research is only possible with a dedicated community of researchers, supporters, and families working together. UMass has completed the first-ever human clinical trial for infantile Tay-Sachs, marking a historic step toward treatment. Meanwhile, at @sickkidstoronto , Dr. Ivakine and his team are making strides in gene editing research to change the future of Tay-Sachs. Every breakthrough brings us closer to hope.

Catherine and Jack’s journeys are a testament to the resilience of families fighting rare diseases. Jack, diagnosed with SPG4, faces mobility challenges, but his family is determined to find a cure. Katherine, diagnosed with Tay- Sachs, is part of a critical clinical trial offering hope for the future. Their stories remind us why funding research at institutions like @umasschan is so important— because no family should have to fight alone. 💙

Tay-Sachs is a rare and fatal genetic disorder that progressively destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Caused by a mutation in the HEXA gene, it leads to severe neurological decline, with most infants diagnosed rarely living past the age of four. With no cure available, gene therapy research offers the greatest hope for families affected by this devastating disease.
