Who is Anthony?  

Anthony, our son, has been living with Pitt Hopkins Syndrome for 21 years.  Despite the challenges, his family and the foundation’s determination to raise money for a cure is unwavering.

 He was diagnosed at 5 ½ years old.  He suffers multiple issues including breathing complications, constipation, and fine/gross motor delays.  Even though he is non-verbal, he makes his presence known.  He is very happy and tries with all his might to belong.  He graduated last year from Clearview Regional High School where he was in the self-contained special needs program.  He currently attends Clearview’s 18-21 yr old special needs program and goes to private speech and music therapy.  Anthony is an Athlete.  He has played baseball, soccer and basketball at TOPSports in Mullica Hill, NJ since they started this inclusive special needs program 10 years ago.  

Anthony will always live with us.  He will never marry, or live on his own.  He requires 24/7 attention and care.  Please find it in your heart to give back – We Cannot Fight Alone!

Your Investment in Research will Make A Difference

Our board and officers are parents and professionals who volunteer their time, so that over 94% of  funds raised and donated go to finding a cure.  Our goal is to find a treatment as quickly as possible that will help give our children higher functioning, fuller lives.  This research is funded by your generous donations from the community.  Please join us, your donations give us so much more than money – they give us hope!

We value your involvement and thank you in advance for your support this year in joining our fundraising efforts. Our success would not be possible without the generosity of individuals and businesses like yours. 

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting impact.

Lovingly,
