I am so grateful that my son Everett’s story was included in this week’s CNBC Cures newsletter. It spotlights the common challenge Rare Disease families face in funding the development of treatments and cures.

Our story is no different. Scientists are actively working on a treatment for Everett, but we need to raise approximately $3 million to fund it.

In past newsletters we've talked about the financial hardships faced by families living with a rare disease, but up until now, we haven't actually provided a road map to follow that could help take some of the stress out of planning for them.

Everett is keeping me on my tippy toes, per usual. We’ve been up and down this week with seizures and congestion this week and trying to refine what helps him feel best.

And have shout out Everett’s Pediatrician’s group at Austin Regional Clinic that has been helping us share Everett’s story. We’re grateful for the support. 🩵

Dr. Thompson at Austin Regional Clinic has been a core part of E’s care team from the beginning and we are so grateful for the knowledge and support close to home. ❤️

When Marissa’s baby Everett was eight weeks old, he was diagnosed with a hexokinase 1 mutation (HK1)—an ultra-rare neurodegenerative genetic condition found in less than 50 people across the world.

Marissa says ARC Pediatrician Carla Thompson, MD, FAAP, has been the perfect match for Everett’s medically complex case, providing coordinated, comprehensive health care.

This year, a lab in Austin began working to create a treatment designed specifically for Everett’s genetic condition.
