My name is Christine Pouget and I am a teacher and a mom. My 10 year old daughter Charlie and my 9 year old son Jesse both have a very rare disease called LAL-d. Every two weeks, the kids receive enzyme infusions. These enzyme infusions temporarily replace the ones they are missing. Afte two weeks, they run out again and have to start over. They will have to do this for the rest of their lives because, for now, there is no cure. However, we are hopeful for a future cure through gene therapy. This is the reason we have joined the Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation in order to raise funds for Dr. Mitchell's research. The funds raised could not only help our children, but also help many other children and adults with LAL-d and possibly even more genetic conditions.
