Microcephaly Awareness Research And Education
our personal journey with a child with Microcephaly and why we want to raise awareness
OUR STORY
We are parents who were blessed with a beautiful little boy. Born early and weighed in at just a little over 3 pounds we were frightened, a few weeks latter we were told that our boy may have Microcephaly. We were sent to a specialist and the testing was started checking for Hydrocephalus (water on the brain) & Tumors MRI and CAT Scan showed nothing, Next off to Genetics testing and the doctor had no answers for us, no explanation as to how or why our boy has Microcephaly, test results were inconclusive. Special test were available but only for the most sever cases and a two year wait period. We researched for two years reading articles and test studies with very few answers. Everyone we talk to ask's the same question What is Microcephaly
That is what began our mission
We started these pages for many reasons,
we want to bring awareness about Microcephaly and it's causes and effects on families to the public
We want to creat fundraisors and events throug-out the year and donate the proceeds to research
We are currently trying to raise donations for a no-profit state licence
