WHAT IS A-T?
Ataxia-telangiectasia is a neurodegenerative disease that causes a progressive loss of muscle control, immune system problems, and a strikingly high rate of cancer. It is an incredibly rare disease and there is no cure or means of slowing it down. 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.

WHO IS THE A-T CHILDREN'S PROJECT?
I have joined the A-T CureTeam for the 2025 Walt Disney World Princess Half Marathon Weekend in support of the A-T Children's Project. The A-T Children's Project is a non-profit organization that partners with academic and industry investigators worldwide - organizing and supporting innovative research, conferences, clinical teams, data platforms and biomarkers - to optimize disease management strategies, develop new treatments and find a cure.
