Niki Markou's Story

Unfortunately, Angelina lost her fight on May 29th, 2025. She will be forever 21! Too young to fly away! Help us save our Lafora children today! She will be dearly missed 💔

My dedication to funding treatments comes from my personal experience as a mother of a child with Lafora disease. My daughter Angelina is now 20 and has been suffering with symptoms for 6 years. Lafora is quick to manifest and progress; we lose our children too fast. Please help us continue to #fightlafora by giving children like Angelina access to this safety study and helping them find a cure.

Here is a video update from me about Ange
