Blayne Nash is not just another statistic. She is a daughter, a sister, and a light in the lives of everyone who knows her. She was diagnosed with MPS1 Hurler Syndrome, a progressive disorder that affects multiple organs and causes severe physical challenges and developmental delays; at just 5 years old, her journey has already been filled with chemo, a bone marrow transplant, lengthy hospital stays, therapies, and many medical challenges.

Despite the pain, Blayne remains resilient. But without a cure, MPS1 will continue to steal time from her childhood. Every day matters in her fight against this disease.

MPS1 Hurler Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by the body’s inability to break down specific sugar molecules, leading to buildup in organs and tissues. It causes severe physical and neurological symptoms, affecting a child’s ability to grow and develop properly. The impact is devastating, and without proper treatment, the disease progresses rapidly.

But there is Hope. We are moving closer to a cure every day with continued research and treatment advancements. Your support will help accelerate this process and provide families like Blayne's with the resources they need to give their children the best possible care and treatment.
