💙 We want to introduce you to Lowie, the son of Jodie, one of our practitioners at Carmenta Life.
The day before Lowie turned 3 he was diagnosed with CTNNB1 syndrome, a rare genetic condition affecting brain development, movement, speech and learning. As a family, they have faced this with extraordinary courage and love.
There is genuinely positive news - the Gene Replacement Therapy trial for CTNNB1 is showing real promise. But to build on this progress, funding is urgently needed to manufacture the therapy and open additional clinical trial sites, so that more children around the world, including Lowie, can access it.
Parents are leading this fight, because rare conditions like this simply don't attract the investment they deserve. Every step forward has been made possible by people who cared enough to act.
We are sharing this because we believe in community, and because one of our own needs us right now. To help raise awareness and funds, we will be running a 7-day Gratitude Challenge on our Instagram and pages from Monday 6th July. Donations for participation would be gratefully received. Every penny and every share brings Lowie, and children like him, closer to life-changing treatment. 🙏
Thank you for reading and supporting. Link to the fundraiser is in our bio and post comments. Can you help?
