About Crosby
This year, Crosby bravely faced an eight day hospital stay due to seizures, a symptom shared by many children affected by CCDS.
Despite his set backs, Crosby has started all-day kindergarten and is rocking it!
While we ultimately hope for a cure, we are are hoping to see Crosby improve his cognitive growth and verbal communication and, of course, control of his seizures.
Thank you for your support both personally and for ACD, an organization that is making waves in CCDS research.
Holiday Heroes 2024
Holiday Heroes is ACD’s year-end fundraiser and all funds raised are dedicated to research.
ACD has been promised a donation of $125,000 when $200,000 has been raised. This is will be ACD’s largest ever single donation and will be monumental for next year’s CCDS research! Your help will go farther this year than ever before!
Children with Creatine Deficiencies are severely impacted in their daily lives by:
- Seizures
- Lack of Speech
- Intellectual Disability
- Autism
- Behavioral Issues
- And more…
Your donation will fund research to change this!
ACD has some very promising research initiatives underway. Additional funding will expand these efforts and launch new projects, such as:
- The next phases of promising research projects (2 large projects began in 2024)
- New fellowship grants to early career researchers (5 were awarded in 2024)
- Creatine Deficiency Research Centers (multi-project CCDS research institutions; University of Utah was launched in 2023)
- New projects with a focus on therapeutic development (proposals under review)
Thank you for being a Holiday Hero!
We can’t do this without you. Please donate today to fund CCDS research.
