The Story of the Vanishing White Matter Foundation
In the fall of 2007, the Vanishing White Matter Foundation was born from a family's urgent need for answers. When Annabelle, a lively fourth grader, began experiencing troubling symptoms, her parents sought medical help. An MRI revealed significant white-matter issues in her brain, leading to a diagnosis of a rare type of Leukodystrophy. This pivotal moment ignited a mission to support research and connect families affected by this devastating condition.
