Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Mitch is 11 and has Fragile X Syndrome. He recently started to talk (4 to 5 word phrases). He and many others with the Syndrome will likely never be able to live independently due to this disorder. There currently is no known cure or treatment and the National Fargile X Foundation helps the Fragile X community search for treatments and an eventual cure.

I'm raising money in the $25 for 25 Years campaign, to help the NFXF lower the average age of Fragile X diagnosis by educating pediatricians and other professionals to better recognize the early signs of Fragile X. Early diagnosis and intervention can vastly improve children’s abilities and potential over the course of their lives.

Approximately 100,000 individuals in the United States have fragile X syndrome, many of them undiagnosed. More than 1 million people have or are at risk of developing a Fragile X-associated Disorder.

You can help by making a donation of $25 or more, in honor of the NFXF’s 25 years of hard work on behalf families impacted by Fragile X.

Donating through this website is simple, fast, and totally secure.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Sincerely,

Joey and Catherine
