This month..
In October, we are raising money for Penny’s Promise!
Penny has recently been diagnosed with an ultra rare form of congenital muscular dystrophy called Selenon Related Myopathy SEPN-1.
In spite of some challenges, Penny is currently relatively healthy and happy, however SEPN-1 is progressive, ultimately leading to respiratory failure, and worsening disability. Penny, like all children with SEPN-1, faces an uncertain future. Presently, no treatment is available.
A primary fundraising goal of Penny’s Promise is raising funds to seek treatment for SEPN-1. One key recipient of our fund will be the Beggs Laboratory and the Boston Children’s Hospital, where Dr. Alan Beggs is working on developing a treatment using gene therapy to treat SEPN-1. The Beggs Lab is one of the only places in the world that SEPN-1 is being studied. The disease is classified as ‘ultra rare’ (1 in 2,000,000) so funding for research into treatment is entirely inadequate.
By raising funds for researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital we will support the Beggs Lab to get the treatment ready for clinical trials sooner. Speeding up the timing of a treatment is so crucial for Penny. Penny’s family are hopeful they can get her treatment before she has to contend with the worsening effects of the disease. Penny’s Promise will also be continuing to look to support efforts to develop new therapeutics that can improve the lifespan and quality of life with those living with neuromuscular conditions. All funds will be directed to this overarching goal.
