Support Cri Du Chat Research Foundation's Mission
In 2014, Megan and JC Leston received life-changing news: their son had been diagnosed with Cri du Chat (5p- syndrome), a rare genetic disorder with a daunting prognosis. Determined to create hope and a better future-not just for their child, but for families everywhere-they founded the Cri du Chat Research Foundation (CDCRF).
What began as a personal journey quickly became a movement. CDCRF is a volunteer-powered nonprofit dedicated to advancing science and supporting families. We focus on funding translational research, building expert networks, and accelerating the development of real treatments for 5p- syndrome.
Cri Du Chat Research Foundation, Inc
Thanks to your generosity in the past, we
were able to begin the Drug Repurposing
Screen for 5p- Syndrome and successfully
complete Part 1. This was a tremendous
milestone — and now, we are ready for the
next step.
Our goal is to raise $150,000 to complete
Part 2 of this vital research. With your
support, we hope to move closer to finding a
treatment — and one day, a cure for the symptoms of 5p-
Syndrome.
Your presence, kindness, and commitment
mean more than words can express.
Together, we can make an impact not only
for Liam but for all families affected by this rare
disease.
With gratitude and hope,
JC & Megan Leston
proud parents of Liam Leston
