Meet Hannah. She’s a warrior mama to Austin, a two-year-old, who has a fatal, muscle-wasting disease called LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy (L-CMD). She founded the L-CMD Research Foundation to save Austin and other children whose lives depend on the development of rare disease treatments like gene therapy. They’re 76% of the way to a $2M goal funding this project through GiveButter, and her peer fundraising tips are GOLD. Don't miss this incredible example of “community is everything” in action.
