About Matthew

As many of you know, in 2016 Matthew was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called creatine transporter deficiency. When he was a baby failing to thrive, we didn’t know if he would ever sit up or crawl, much less walk. But who’s to say what’s impossible? Despite his many systems-wide struggles, he kept trying, and finally took 10 steps in a row when he was nearly 3 years old! He now hikes for hours, plays soccer, and enjoys school. He still struggles. Seizures, motor dysfunction, and severe GI issues are part of his life and he cannot communicate verbally. Currently there is no cure for CTD, but ACD is working hand in hand with brilliant researchers around the world, funding their promising research.
