Today is #RareDiseaseDay2023, # 7 for us since Ty’s #Syngap1 diagnosis. Still no treatment or cure but getting closer every day thanks to CURE SYNGAP1 aka SynGAP Research Fund 501(C)(3) and all the #researchers and #pharma working on #SYNGAP1 . #Rare but not alone! There is hope!
Melissa — on the SRF Board — & her husband Michael Foster shared their #SYNGAP1 story with FOX4 News Kansas City for #Rarediseaseday. Every time we raise awareness about our patients it plants seeds that improve the future for SynGAP families. Please share. Rare KC fox4kc.com/news/kansas-ci…
