#FDMATCH25

Thank you for visiting my page. I am raising awareness and funds to support the Familial Dysautonomia Foundation. Michelle (30) just spent more than two months in the hospital due to the disease progression. Thankfully, she is home now but has a long way to go with her recovery. 

The era of genetic therapy has begun 

For years the Foundation has focused on genetic therapy and making it accessible to all patients. Through the tireless work of many brilliant scientists, the ongoing efforts of our dedicated clinicians at the Dysautonomia Center at NYU Langone, and the generous support of people like YOU - a total of four of gene therapies are currently in development for the treatment of FD.

FD is a rare disorder, affecting the functioning of the autonomic and sensory nervous systems.
Today, there are 350 people around the world living with FD. With your help, we can continue to fund groundbreaking global research that improves the everyday lives of FD patients which may also, hopefully, result in a cure.
