Hunter syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that occurs when an enzyme your body needs is either missing or doesn’t work properly.
Because the body doesn’t have enough of the enzyme to break down certain complex molecules, the molecules build up in harmful amounts in certain cells and tissues. The buildup that occurs in Hunter syndrome eventually causes permanent, progressive damage affecting appearance, mental development, organ function and physical abilities.
Hunter syndrome appears in children as young as 18 months. It nearly always occurs in males.
There’s no cure for Hunter syndrome. Treatment of Hunter syndrome involves management of symptoms and complications.
Your support has helped us send over $15,000 to Nationwide Children's Hospital and we have another $20,000 that will be on it's way!
We are excited about that progress, but we know we can do more!
So we thought, "why not challenge everyone?"
Everything has been done! So, #SkipTheChallenge and #FundTheCure
Help us share this story on Facebook and Twitter so we can raise the much needed $750,000!
