✨ Running for a Cause: Help Us Support Emmy and Kids with A-T! ✨

Hey everyone! My mom and I are gearing up for the Disney Princess 5k in February 2025, and we’re running with a special mission in mind. We're raising funds for The A-T Children's Project, a charity dedicated to helping children with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). Please consider donating Every donation, big or small, goes directly to The A-T Children's Project, funding research and support for families. Let's come together to make a difference and bring some magic into the lives of these amazing children.

WHAT IS A-T?

Imagine a disease that combines the worst symptoms of muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, immune deficiencies and cancer. Children with A-T are usually confined to wheelchairs by age 10 and often do not survive their teens. Because A-T is a multi-system disease, scientists believe that A-T research will help more prevalent disease such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, AIDS and cancer. With your donation, we will be one step closer towards a cure for A-T! Please click on the Donate Now button and you can help us race towards a cure for A-T! Thank you for all of the support!

Our Inspiration?

A wonderful 11-year-old named Emmy. Emmy just finished 5th grade and, though she faces daily challenges due to A-T, she has an incredible spirit. She can't walk on her own anymore and needs help with tasks like dressing, eating, and even speaking loudly. Despite these obstacles, Emmy's heart is full of joy and love. She adores playing with her little sister, splashing around in the pool, and cuddling with her Squishmallow stuffed animals.

WHO IS THE A-T CHILDREN'S PROJECT?

I have joined the A-T CureTeam in support of the A-T Children's Project. Your donation will go directly to the A-T Children's Project in their mission to find a cure for ataxia-telangiectasa (A-T). A-T is a genetic disease that causes loss of muscle control and balance, cancer, lung disease and immune system problems in children and young adults, shortening their lives.

The nonprofit A-T Children's Project partners with academic and industry investigators worldside - organizing and supporting innovative research, conferences, clinical teams, data platforms and biomarkers - to optimize disease management strategies, develop new treatments and find a cure.
