Santa Barbara Fragile X Basketball Bonanza

I am putting on a fundraiser to raise funds and awareness for Fragile X Syndrome. It’s a basketball tournament, and the players are the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Dept, Santa Barbara City Police Dept, SB City and County Fire Dept’s, and CHP. Men and women of service are donating their time to help with this wonderful event.

What is Fragile X?  Fragile X Syndrome is the most common known single gene cause of Autism as well as other neuro developmental disorders.  Fragile X syndrome can cause a child to have Autism or an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)though not all children with fragile X syndrome have autism or an ASD.

I’m working closely and supported by the National Fragile X Foundation, as well as with the UC Davis Mind Institute, Dr. Randi Hagerman; Medical Director; Professor of Pediactrics; and Founder of the National Fragile X Foundation for Fragile X Clinical Programs. Also, Ms. Louise Gane – Genetic Associate). <Read  More>

I am an aunt and an advocate. When my nephew Kyle was born, he was given warmth, love and endless amounts of nurturing. By ages 1 to 3, he wasn’t able to speak at the expected level appropriate to the age, he had developed his own language and had chronic ear infections and other medical concerns. At ages 4 to 5, he wasn’t able to follow rules with games — perhaps best described with the phrase “round hole, square peg.” <More>
