<div><strong>Paxton's Story: A Rare Genetic Battle</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our son Paxton, recently diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic mutation on the CLCN6 gene, faces immense challenges including Autism Spectrum Disorder, severe epilepsy, hypotonia, and poor motor coordination. <strong>This mutation is neurodegenerative, meaning time is critical.</strong>

</div>
<div><strong>The Urgency of Paxton's Condition</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Paxton is one of only a handful of known cases worldwide, and currently, no research exists for a gene therapy due to the small patient population. <strong>However, we have a unique opportunity to develop a life-saving treatment for Paxton at the University of Massachusetts' Horae Gene Therapy Center.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The scientists will create a custom gene therapy using specialized viruses called Adeno-Associated Viruses (AAV). <strong>The entire process, including studying the mutation in laboratory models, developing and testing the therapy, and administering it to Paxton, will take approximately three years and cost $1.5 million.</strong>
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Science Behind the Therapy</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The University of Massachusetts' Horae Gene Therapy Center will develop, test and deliver a gene therapy for Paxton through a clinical trial. <strong>This therapy involves using specially designed viruses to replace the faulty gene with a functional one. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Funding Breakdown and Timeline</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We need to raise these funds urgently to give Paxton the chance he deserves.</strong> Your support will directly fund the development of this crucial gene therapy. <strong>Time is against us, but with your help, we can make this happen.</strong>
