Commissioner Makary, You fast-tracked weight-loss drugs in <55 days.
My child has Sanfilippo, a type of childhood dementia. There are no approved treatments.
UX111 has 10+ years of data. Kids on it are thriving while mine is dying.
Please save our children.
This week is critical. We will be in DC advocating for change.
- Today, Dr. Cara O’Neill is speaking at a joint FDA/Duke Margolis event about controls in rare disease clinical trials.
- On Thursday, we will attend a Senate meeting where Secretary Kennedy will testify….
We are urging our elected officials to delve deeper into the issues surrounding rare disease delays at the FDA.
- From Wednesday to Friday, we will be meeting with various Congressional offices and White House staffers.
Behind every delay is a child losing skills, a family watching helplessly. These aren’t
statistics. They’re kids. And they don’t have time to wait.

The science is ready. The system is not.
Kids with ultra-rare diseases like Sanfilippo are losing abilities because the FDA uses outdated processes built for large populations. Time is brain. If the science is solid, get treatments to patients NOW.

Today’s the last day. The FDA delayed a gene therapy for Sanfilippo — a disease that steals children’s voices, mobility, and memories.
We can’t wait another year.

Tell the FDA: kids with Sanfilippo can’t wait. A promising gene therapy was delayed up to a year over paperwork.
Sign the letter before Aug 6 to demand urgency.

The @US_FDA said the data behind this Sanfilippo gene therapy is strong. But instead of resolving minor manufacturing issues, they rejected the application.
Now families must wait 6–12 more months. In Sanfilippo, that’s a lifetime - speech lost, mobility gone, memories erased.
We’re looking for auction items and sponsors for 🦋Sadiepalooza🦋. On August 24 and 25, we’ll be hosting a 5k, golf tournament, silent auction, and more in Troy. If you or your company would like to contribute to the silent auction or sponsor one of the events, please let us know
@VancityReynolds Carter is 6 and suffers from a childhood Alzheimer’s. Our 2 year old daughter, Sadie, has the same terrible disease.
We have 3 days left to reach the goal to give them both a chance at life! Please watch, share and donate!
