โฐ TOMORROW!

CDG Community Connection is our safe, casual space for parents and caregivers to come together, and this month we're making sense of clinical trials. ๐Ÿงฌ๐Ÿ”ฌ

When trial news breaks, we all ask the same thing: did it work? But before a trial can answer that, researchers first have to agree on exactly what to measure, the specific signs that show a treatment is really helping our kids.

Join us for an informative conversation with Dr. Rose Marino, Chief Medical Officer of Glycomine, about understanding clinical trials, what it means to validate an endpoint, why it's so important in rare diseases like CDG, and how our voices as families help shape what research measures.

๐–๐ก๐จ? All CDG families welcome! (Live translated captions available, so you can join in your preferred language.) ๐ŸŒŽ

We're back with our community-favorite open forum: "What's on your mind?" - a relaxed, judgment-free hour to talk about whatever's sitting on your heart. ๐Ÿซธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿซท

Care routines, therapies, school challenges, sleep (or the no-sleep nights), seizures, equipment, family balanceโ€ฆ or just the heavy in-betweens nobody else quite understands.

Come to ask questions. Come to share what's working. Come to just listen with your camera off if that's the kind of day it is.
