Our Story

Our world was turned upside down when our son Eli was diagnosed with FOXG1 syndrome, a rare neurological condition that severely impacts the brain. We were devastated and overwhelmed by the news, but we refused to accept Eli's prognosis. That's why we started Believe in a Cure, a grassroots effort to fund research projects around the world to find a treatment.
