I'm an ALSF researcher devoted to studying Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome. I am participating in Alex's Million Mile to help move us closer to finding a cure for all children with cancer! You can join me or donate to my page! All funds raised by my team up to $25000 will be matched, and all funds will go exclusively to BWS research.

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a rare genetic disorder. For certain types of BWS, up to 25% of children will develop cancer, most commonly liver and kidney cancer. Some children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome may need to see other medical specialists. For example, children with leg-length discrepancies may require evaluation by an orthopedist. Other areas of specialty care include oncology, plastic surgery and genetics. 

Thanks for your support!
