A Siblings Story

Jan 3, 2016

By: Kelsey


My brother Andrew, 12, was diagnosed with Cystinosis in 2005 when he was one years old. my family is from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

 I am involved with the Cystinosis Research Foundation community (USA), C.A.R.E. - Cystinosis Awareness Research Effort (Canada), and aim to become involved with Cystinosis Ireland. I am now living in Dublin, Ireland. 

I am passionate about keeping busy up with Cystinosis related research, fundraising for this cause, and building a social support network for Cystinosis patients and their families!
