A Story of Strength, Resilience, and Gratitude

  In August 2021, after years of specialist appointments, genetic testing, and searching for answers, our world changed when my son, Christopher, was diagnosed with KAT6B syndrome, a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder. From birth, we knew he was different. He was a beautiful baby, but as he grew, developmental delays, coordination struggles, and communication difficulties […]
