Yes please @elonmusk, happy to pre-order! 👏👏👏

[Seth Greenblott @SethWG603]

I recently preordered a @Tesla Cybertruck with the idea of modifying it for my 3 yo daughter’s medical needs (@KCNT1_Epilepsy). Now I want to convince @elonmusk to make the 1st factory built medically-adaptive e-vehicle. There is a market and this is an ideal vehicle platform.

'What does it mean to be a rare parent? It is exerting a force of will so strong that, even for only the briefest of moments, the line between the possible and the impossible bends' #GETA2021

[KCNA2 Epilepsy @Kcna2Epilepsy]

Feeling inspired by all of the research information and genetic epilepsy parent stories being shared at the #GETA2021 conference. Just wanted to share some of the faces of #KCNA2 who insipire us every day 💜🌏

Difficult for me to take a photo through tears @mattmight, I wasn't expecting such profound beauty from a talk on precision medicine. Thank you for being here with us, not only as a researcher but also as a fellow rare parent #GETA2021
