Walk for Strength · 10 June 2023

The ACD provides patient, family, and public education, to advocate for early intervention through newborn screening, and to promote and fund medical research for treatments and cures for Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes (CCDS). Families and researchers we support are from around the world.

Story

Oscar is a happy, gorgeous little boy who always has a smile on his face and loves to be around people, he has amazing energy that never fails to make people smile and as his parents we could not be any prouder of him, he really is an inspiration.

In January 2023 Oscar was diagnosed with a very rare syndrome - Creatine Transporter Deficiency (CTD). https://creatineinfo.org/ccds-overview/

He was born with a difference in one of his genes which is responsible for moving creatine around the body. Creatine is essential to sustain the high levels of energy needed for muscle and brain development. Oscar takes supplements daily to help boost his creatine levels but currently there is no cure for CTD. We are working with the organisation ACD to raise funds into research to help find more information and a cure for creatine deficiencies in the hope that one day this will help Oscar and many other children and adults with this rare conidition. Thank you for your support and for making a contribution towards ACD.

We will be doing a walk for Strength on the 10th of June in the Peak District to raise awareness of the brilliant work ACD are doing.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
