Story
We're Phil and Tammy, proud parents to Caleb. We invite you into our little slice of life to learn about our sweet son, Caleb.
Caleb joined our family on October 28, 1992. He gave wonderful snuggles and was such a light for our family. Caleb loved Disney, Mickey Mouse, roller coasters, and had a sweet tooth for cotton candy.
Caleb was diagnosed with a peroxisomal disorder (per-ox-is-ome-ul), a very rare disease. Peroxisomal disorders are genetic disorders that can cause vision and hearing loss, global developmental delays, adrenal insufficiency, neurological issues, and feeding issues, and are almost always terminal in childhood.
We were able to call on The Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders (GFPD) to connect with other families navigating this rare disease and with educational and support resources specifically designed for families like ours.
Caleb beats the odds and we got to enjoy 31 years with our wonderful son. This October would have been Caleb's 32nd birthday. To celebrate his memory, we are raising funds to support the GFPD and their work to help more Warriors, like Caleb.
Treatments, and one day a cure, are on the horizon and we invite you to make a difference in the lives of Warriors like our Caleb.
