Hope for Claire and Families Affected by AARS2 Leukodystrophy
Claire was diagnosed with AARS2 Leukodystrophy in 2019. AARS2 is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of the brain and nervous system, causing damage to nerve cells in the cerebellum (the part of the brain responsible for balance).
AARS2 is a progressive disease that gets worse over time. It starts with mild symptoms such as clumsiness or poor coordination, but eventually leads to severe disabilities affecting all four limbs, speech and swallowing difficulties, seizures and death.
At present there is no known treatment or cure so we are trying to raise as many donations as we can to ensure that research can be done into helping Claire find treatments and hopefully one day a cure. More Information can be found on our Official Cure For Claire Website at www.cureforclaire.org
All donations raised will be placed into projects researching the AARS2 Gene which in turn will have to show on a yearly basis how it has been used and there findings which will be updated as and when we know.
This project successfully funded on 21st August 2022
