Kyleigh Lydon is a 5 year old girl who was born with a rare disordercalled galactosemia. There is currently no treatment or a cure for this disorder. Her parents are two local Police Officer’s in their community. They have dedicated their lives to finding a cure for their daughter. Currently there is research being done at Children’s Hospital Bostonto find treatment and a cure.
Because this disease is so rare, there is minimal funding for research. A fundraiser is being held on September 10, 2010, to help Kyleigh’s family directly support current galactosemia research at Children’s Hospital Boston. This research will give Kyleigh and other children treatment options and hope. Kyleigh’s parents, Kristine and Sean, sister Samantha, and brother Sean, greatly appreciate everyone’s support.
