The Save Babies Through Screening Foundation is reaching out to help Jenni O’Connor raise much needed funds for her sons Gavin (21 months) & Gunner (6 weeks), who both suffer from non classical infantile Pompe, a genetic disease diagnosed through Missouri’s Newborn Screening program. Gavin, was actually the first person in the US to be diagnosed with Pompe through Newborn Screening. Pompe is a rare disease that destroys muscle tissues, and the boys require bi-weekly infusions that take about 6-8 hours each. Without the infusions muscle denigration would occur resulting in complete disability or death. The Save Babies Through Screening Foundation has set a $10,000 fundraising goal, to help Jenni O’Conner raise funds so that the family can relocate to North Carolina, where they will have access to a team of Pompe specialists.
