Celebrating the birthday of Zoe

on 11 September 2025

Infantile Neuro Axonal Dystrophy (INAD) is a rare inherited disorder. Children have a life expectancy of 5-10 years. Cure INAD UK is raising money to help fund research to find a cure, and medication to improve prognosis.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit Zoe's 10th birthday fundraiser page for Cure INAD UK.

When Zoe was diagnosed with INAD aged 2.5 we were told that she would have a life expectancy of 5-10 years old. This September Zoe will be 10. It's a huge milestone. Please help us to celebrate Zoe's birthday and raise vital funds for a cure for INAD by donating to this page.

8th September update, we have just met with UCL and they need help to develop and produce the gene therapy vector to deliver the treatment.

We will be fundraising globally to help UCL to reach their target of £2 million by early next year. This will enable the team to approach national grant providers for funding for the trial.

If you want to send Zoe a birthday card, please donate £2 here instead and send her a birthday message we will pass on to her.
