It is impossible to do justice to her 67 years on this planet, but luckily, Caren starred in her own movie, and Nancy has shared numerous other stories about her sister’s life. We hope you enjoy this unique episode, then check out the links below to learn even more about this family that is so special to the SynGAP Research Fund community.

Sydney & Brett Stelmaszek are heavily involved in the SRF community. Sydney is on the BOD, is a patient advocate, and coordinates our connection with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Brett is the driving force behind Cannonball for the Cure (CFTC), an annual fundraiser where SYNGAP1 parents drive cross country live-streaming the entire journey to raise awareness of SYNGAP1. This episode touches on their involvement with SRF as well as raising their son Emmitt, diagnosed with SYNGAP1 while living in South Africa. Their story of excessive seizures, aggression, hope, and love while caring for Emmitt and his two brothers is at times heart-breaking, but always heartwarming.

Going back to school is difficult for most kids and their families, but for those living with SYNGAP1 and other rare diseases, it is especially hard! Mike Graglia, SRF Co-Founder & Managing Director and Dad to Syngapian Tony, joins Ashley again to talk about a crisis his family experienced on Tony's first day at a new school. It's easy to talk about the joy we experience with our special kids, but it can be gut-wrenching to discuss (and hear about) the hard days. That makes it so important to share these stories - to make sure our community and those around us can prepare for these possibilities to the best of our abilities. Please, if you have a story to share, email us at [email protected]. Thank you for listening!
