Story

#GivingTuesday is here!

We are so grateful once again to announce that we have two anonymous donors who together would like to match the first $65,000 in donations - from now through Friday, December 3rd! Make your donations go twice as far by donating today or creating your own personal fundraising page!

Support our research!

A-T research continues to advance rapidly in many directions, giving us much hope! The little girl with A-T who started receiving an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) gene therapy at Boston Children's Hospital early last year continues to do well. Because of your donations, we have been able to fund this groundbreaking work, which was recently reported on in Science magazine. You can read the story here. We are now working with researchers to expand this research - both to include more children in the ASO testing and applying more types of DNA-based approaches.

Some additional projects include: screening existing drugs for efficacy in cells from A-T kids; developing blood or spinal fluid biomarkers as well as wearable sensors to objectively measure whether treatments are working; and, continuing to expand the Global A-T Family Data Platform where families share their information directly with researchers - just to name a few.

As you know, A-T is an extraordinarily rare disease, and we are definitely punching above our weight! Thank you, as always, for making it happen with your donations. We hope that you'll join us again this year to double your impact by making a Giving Tuesday donation or by creating a Giving Tuesday fundraiser of your own!
