“I am wanting to give back to families who need it most at this time of year.” – Janka
Working in childcare, Janka sees firsthand just how special Christmas is for little ones. She began donating after one of the children in her care became seriously unwell, inspiring her to help families going through tough times. For the past three years, she’s continued to give, hoping to brighten Christmas for children spending the season in hospital 🎁✨

Adding a little festive magic to the hospital halls! ✨🎄

We hope these small touches bring a smile to everyone walking through the hospital this season.
Every year, countless families face the heartbreak of rare genetic brain disorders, conditions that can cause seizures, developmental delays, and devastating lifelong impacts.
But new hope is emerging.
With support from our donors, Professors Jozef Gecz and Paul Thomas are leading groundbreaking research into antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), cutting-edge genetic therapies that have the potential to treat the root cause of rare childhood brain disorders like PCDH19 clustering epilepsy and TIMMDC1 neurodegenerative disorder.
Their work could help create life-changing treatments where currently none exist. Visit the link in bio to read more about this incredible research on our website 🔬
