Dear friends,

Giuliano is a 5-year-old boy. Like many children with rare genetic diseases, his life—and his family’s—has been shaped by uncertainty, unanswered questions, and the painful wait for solutions that medicine has not yet been able to offer.

Giuliano’s condition is caused by a rare genetic alteration that affects his development and quality of life. Today, there is no established cure. But there is something powerful within reach: advanced genetic research that could unlock new therapeutic paths—not only for Giuliano, but for many children like him.

We are Mario and Ricardo, co-founders of Biovirtus Therapeutics, a biotech company focused on rare diseases. Through our work, we have met families across the world facing the same reality: children who are invisible to mainstream medicine simply because their conditions are rare.

This campaign was created to help Giuliano and other children with similar rare genetic disorders by funding:

• Advanced genomic analysis to better understand these conditions
• Research into potential gene-repair and targeted therapeutic strategies
• Scientific work that could open the door to future treatments where today there are none

For children with rare diseases, time matters. Every year without progress is a year without answers, without options, and without hope.

Your donation—no matter the amount—directly supports research efforts that aim to transform rare genetic diseases from a life sentence of uncertainty into a condition with real medical possibilities.

By helping Giuliano, you are also helping many other children who share the same silent struggle.

If you believe that no child should be left behind because their disease is rare, we invite you to stand with us.

Please donate, share this campaign, and help us give Giuliano—and others like him—a real chance at a better future.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Mario & Ricardo
Co-founders, Biovirtus Therapeutics
