Join me in finding treatments for Smith-Kingsmore syndrome!
Smith-Kingsmore Syndrome (SKS) is a rare genetic condition that affects brain development and leads to challenges like seizures, developmental delays, and sleep disruption. Right now, there are no targeted treatments, but science is making progress.
Our daughter Avery was diagnosed with SKS at the age of 2. She has continued to grow and blossom with the help of family, the community, pre school, and especially the Bell Center here in Birmingham AL. She loves to be outside and draw chalk, cooking with her big sister in the play kitchen and real kitchen, and has a smile that will brighten up any room!
Thanks to support from the SKS community, researchers have developed fruit flies with SKS that can be used to test existing medicines. Now we’re raising funds to put those flies to work and search for treatments that could improve life for individuals and families living with SKS.
Your donation helps fuel the next phase of research, and brings hope to a community that truly needs it.
Thank you for your support.
