Ryan McNeely's Story

Mackenzie’s Mark-

Our daughter, Mackenzie, leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. People often say, “You can’t help but fall in love with her.” And they’re right—Mackenzie has a way of leaving her mark on people in the most beautiful way.

Mackenzie was recently diagnosed with BBSOAS (Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf Optic Atrophy Syndrome), a rare genetic disorder. The disorder comes with different challenges, but even at just 3 years old, Mackenzie meets every obstacle with courage and determination.

Mackenzie has a positive impact in the worlds of everyone she meets, and now we have an opportunity to make an impact on the worlds of those diagnosed with BBSOAS.

The NR2F1 Foundation is working to raise $75,000 to participate in drug screens to determine whether any existing FDA or European-approved drugs have a positive impact when it comes to treating BBSOAS.

We are creating this sub-fundraising group, “Mackenzie’s Mark”, for those looking to support Mackenzie, to raise the funds needed to work toward making treatments a reality for those diagnosed with BBSOAS. Every dollar brings us closer to a future where those diagnosed can thrive, reach their full potential, and continue to light up the world.

Your support means everything to us. Whether it’s through a donation, sharing her story, or simply spreading awareness about BBSOAS, you can help Mackenzie continue to make her mark in ways that truly matter. Help Mackenzie make her mark on this fundraising campaign!
