Welcome to Hope for SPTAN1, a source of information and connection for families impacted by an SPTAN1 genetic mutation. We are dedicated to connecting families to genetic research, definitions, support, and fundraising efforts. Below are ways to help make a difference in the lives of these families. Thank you for your support!
Accessible Transportation
We are reaching out to share an important need in our lives right now. As many of you know, our active family of five includes our identical twin girls who have a rare condition caused by a mutation of the SPTAN1 gene. This condition brings with it severe disabilities, which means we need a special way to transport them safely. Currently, transporting the girls in our van requires two people to lift their wheelchairs, and this is becoming increasingly difficult as the girls grow. We urgently need to modify our van with a wheelchair lift or ramp, especially as their needs continue to grow, so that one caregiver can manage transportation safely and easily.
