    This is for Ezzie (Ezra). Though we've never met ... I have adored him from afar hearing his story from his mom. Anything I can do to continue the amazing research of this foundation ... I am in!

About Cece's Tribe

This is our sweet and spunky Cece! In every cell in her little body, a rare mutation causes the amount of a single protein (ARID1B) to be only half of what it should be. This mutation affects almost every aspect of her life - speech, communication, learning, understanding, and motor skills - and creates huge barriers on her way to living an independent life. Technologies that can correct Cece’s genetic impact already show enormous potential in other syndromes. They may immeasurably improve her life and allow her to realize so many more of her future dreams. These technologies require adaptations and experimentation to prove their capability for Cece’s gene. It is an expensive endeavor. We have already taken the first steps - identifying the appropriate modalities, finding the right researchers, and financing the initial stages of development.  Now we are turning to you for help to take this forward and quickly create treatment for Cece and thousands of children with the same syndrome.  We know that Cece can move mountains, and we would love nothing more than to help her do just that. The simple truth is we cannot take this journey alone. Your support in this endeavor is greatly appreciated!
