💜 Hope for Finley Biddle

Finley Biddle is not just another name on a diagnosis chart. She is a daughter. A granddaughter. A warrior. A six-year-old with a laugh that lights up a room and a bravery that defies words.

Finley has MPS-1 Hurler Syndrome, a progressive, life-limiting genetic disorder that affects nearly every organ and system in her body. At just 9 months old, Finley endured chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant in the fight for her life. Since then, her journey has included hospitalizations, surgeries, painful therapies, and weekly enzyme infusions—many of which her mom now administers at home.

She doesn’t complain. She faces each day with courage. But without a cure, MPS1 continues to threaten her future. Every day matters.

What is MPS1?

MPS-1 Hurler Syndrome is a rare and aggressive genetic disorder. It occurs when the body can’t break down certain sugar molecules, causing them to build up in the body and brain. This buildup leads to damage in the heart, bones, spine, hearing, vision, and cognitive function.

The impact is devastating. And it doesn’t stop.

Without intervention, MPS-1 can shorten a child’s life to under 10 years. Even with treatment, families live in constant uncertainty—battling for each step forward.

Finley’s Fight Isn’t Over

Finley is currently preparing for major spine and hip surgeries while undergoing weekly ERT (enzyme replacement therapy) to help her body fight the disease.

Her mom, Brooke, is a single parent who manages Finley’s care full-time:
• Administering medical infusions
• Coordinating with specialists across the country
• Traveling for out-of-state care (Minnesota, Delaware, and more)
• And doing everything possible to give her daughter a joyful childhood in the midst of hardship

They need your help now.
