Wobbly Feet Foundation donates 90%+ of every dollar toward our mission including A-T family and scientific research aimed at a #cureforAT! As a grass roots foundation, we collaborate with the leading resource for medical advancement, the A-T Children’s Project, amplifying our generously donated dollars!
Dollars at work!
Multi-year contributions:
A-T Clinical Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital a multidisciplinary clinical center at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland to focus solely on the evaluation and treatment of patients with ataxia-telangiectasia. This center provides a centralized clearinghouse for information about management strategies so that doctors in the U.S. and around the world do not need to struggle with A-T in a vacuum.
The A-T Children’s Project launches the Global A-T Family Data Platform and Genome Sequencing Project. A patient driven effort lead by Anthony Philippakis, MD, PhD at the Broad Institute at Harvard and MIT, this platform is compiling clinical and genomic information in order to be shared and be accessed by scientists and researchers worldwide.
The A-T Children’s Project has partnered with Dr. Timothy Yu to begin ASO Gene Therapy testing this year! The goal is to produce the crucial missing piece in those with A-T, the ATM Protein… STOPPING A-T in its tracks! Upon announcement, we immediately contributed towards this ground breaking research and will continue to provide contributions as we are able.
