Our son Lincoln, age 7, has A-T. A-T combines the worst symptoms of muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, immune deficiencies and cancer. A-T usually attacks in early childhood and is degenerative, affecting the immune system, nervous system and brain. Children with A-T are predisposed to fatal cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. These children are usually confined to wheelchairs by the age of 10 and often do not survive their teens.

We are fighting the clock to find a cure! Because A-T is a multi-system disease, scientists believe that A-T research will help more prevalent diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, AIDS and cancer. The A-T Children’s Project will utilize the funds we raise to accelerate first-rate, international scientific research aimed at finding a cure and improving the lives of children with A-T.

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a genetic disease that causes loss of muscle control and balance, cancer, lung disease and immune system problems in children and young adults, shortening their lives. The nonprofit A-T Children’s Project partners with academic and industry investigators worldwide – organizing and supporting innovative research, conferences, clinical teams, data platforms and biomarker development – to optimize disease management strategies, develop new treatments and find a cure.
