This Saturday we have an exciting show for you down at oneroofbg Benefiting the Hadley Jo Foundation!
Hadley Jo Brindley was born in May 2014. When Hadley Jo’s parents, Ashley and Casey, brought her in for her 18-month checkup, the only prevalent issues seemed to be abnormalities in her eye movement and trouble learning to walk. After seeing another doctor to address these setbacks, they were referred to one at the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. It was there after an MRI of her brain that the doctors discovered Hadley has white matter on her cerebellum. This is the part of the brain that controls balance and coordination, explaining why she was struggling at learning how to walk.
After taking blood samples from Hadley, Ashley, and Casey, it was finally found that both of her parents carried the same type of gene error that was subsequently passed on to her. However, the specific gene error that was present in Hadley Jo had never been seen before by any of the specialists at Vanderbilt.
After a long search, Hadley Jo was diagnosed with Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy, Type VIB (HMSN6B) in February 2017. It is a very rare form of mitochondrial disease with only 20 known cases worldwide.
Research is now underway to start figuring out how to fight HMSN6B, but a lack of funding has greatly hindered the process. As a result of much thought and many prayers, The Hadley Jo Foundation was started to help fund this research and find a treatment or cure for her and others who are suffering with this disease.
Every single penny counts in our effort to beat HMSN6B, and we need your help.
