Colorado Believe Walk Sponsorship

Being affected by a rare disorder is like being put on an island, an island where even doctors say, “I’ve never heard of that.” dup15q syndrome is one of those rare disorders. We are walking to raise awareness and funds for Dup15q Alliance. Getting the word out about dup15q syndrome is a key piece of the Alliance’s mission.

Dup15q Syndrome results from an extra genetic material in chromosome 15. Children with dup15q syndrome can display one or more characteristics such as: hypotonia, cognitive delays, autism, speech/language delays, seizures, ADD, anxiety disorders, sensory disorders, GI issues and vision delays. Even with all of these complex behavioral and medical issues, our children are sweet, curious, energetic, and live life to its fullest.

Funds raised from the Colorado Believe Walk will go directly to Dup15q Alliance to support their mission.

Dup15q Alliance provides family support and promotes awareness, research, and targeted treatments for chromosome 15q11.2-13.1 duplication syndrome. We seek to LEARN about the syndrome through research, identify and develop methods to TREAT the symptoms affecting patients, and ultimately develop a CURE (disease modifying therapeutics) to give patients the chance to lead a healthy and long life. Together with our families, Dup15q Alliance works toward a better tomorrow for children with dup15q syndrome.
