Help us quickly put treatment within reach for these children.

Hannes has PIGW-CDG, which causes seizures, cognitive disabilities, developmental delays and muscle weakness. CDG, or Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation, encompasses a group of devastating and rare genetic diseases that disrupts how cells function throughout the entire body, including the brain, organs and muscles.
But Hannes is miraculously learning new skills. The little fighter is army crawling and sitting, both of which which doctors believed unlikely. DRUG REPURPOSING gives him, and others like him, a chance to continue developing. It's a fast path to discovering treatments while these children are young, at peak neuro development, and potential is limitless. We have already partnered with the biotech lab, Perlara, and are raising $55,000 to see the project through to completion.
A rainbow is born of science
with a touch of magic
CDG children need a rainbow
Drug repurposing is fast and cost effective.
With PIGW-CDG, time is of the essence.
It’s critical to treat symptoms while a child has neuroplasticity to recover delayed development
and before severe symptoms cause regression and brain damage.
Hannes has been beating the odds with each milestone he hits in the face of PIGW-CDG.
We can only imagine what he’d accomplish with a little help from science and medicine.
