Hope, Joy, and Progress—Thanks to You

There are moments in this journey that stop us in our tracks—moments filled with purpose, joy, and the quiet knowing that something powerful is unfolding. Your gift is one of those moments.

Because of your generosity, families like mine are not just holding onto hope—we are building it, living it, and celebrating it together.

At the FAM177A1 Research Fund, we are fiercely committed to rewriting the future for children like Charlotte and Cooper. And your support is making that future possible by:

Advancing groundbreaking research in gene therapy and drug repurposing
Providing care and connection for families navigating a diagnosis of FAM177A1-related disorder, and
Creating critical research tools and data to pave the way for real, life-changing treatments.

Together, we move forward with courage and joy toward treatments, hope, and ultimately, a cure for FAM. You’re not just a donor. You are a vital partner in our mission—a source of strength, inspiration, and momentum.

That’s the FAM way: we give fiercely, we laugh loudly, and we turn every effort into joy.

Please follow us on social media @fam177a1, and if you have any questions, contact us at info@fam177a1.com. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this incredible, unstoppable, unforgettable force.

With deep gratitude,

Jill Hawkins
Founder & President, FAM177A1 Research Fund
