The Bow Foundation was founded in 2017 by parents in order to build a better tomorrow for GNAO1 patients. A few facts about GNAO1 neurodevelopmental disorders:

💜GNAO1 is a protein coding gene
💜Patients can experience seizures, abnormal movements, and developmental delays (most are non-verbal and wheel chair dependent)
💜It is rare with only around 300 people worldwide known with the condition
💜There is no known treatment

We are thrilled to support a lesser-known condition with a local community impact. For more info and to donate head to the link in our bio 🕺🏼

Ben can't dance, but proceeds from our fundraiser will help fund medical research that may allow him (or future GNAO1 patients) to someday boogie to the beat!

Until then, his wheelchair will be 💫 glowing 💫
