We finally had the opportunity this summer to attend a conference and I was almost overwhelmed by the support, the sense of community and the joy that our Glut-1 families can bring to a party. Along with helping to fund important research and spreading awareness of the disease within the medical community, they work to help families to connect through conferences and fundraising drives. This is where the work of the Glut-1 Deficiency Foundation is so important.

The problem with rare diseases is that they’re rare, there are only about 500 diagnosed cases of the disease at this time and families are scattered all over the world. This cause is near and dear to my heart as my daughter was born with Glut-1 Deficiency Syndrome. Glut-1 Deficiency Syndrome is typically caused by a genetic mutation that causes the body to produce insufficient amounts of the protein responsible for carrying glucose to the brain, leading to seizures, developmental delays and movement disorders along with a variety of other symptoms. All proceeds from the sale of this pattern will go directly to the foundation. Sunshine In My Pocket is the first of what I hope to be many projects designed specifically with the intention of raising funds for the Glut-1 Deficiency Foundation. Add any four of my patterns to your cart and the lowest priced pattern will be free. All proceeds from the pattern sales for Sunshine In My Pocket will be donated to the Glut-1 Deficiency Foundation to help them to further their mission to spread awareness and raise funds for research for Glut 1 Deficiency Syndromeīuild your own bundle.
