SUMMARY:Jacks Gala: Reaching For The Stars
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a night of hope and resilience at the Brookstreet Hotel!\n“Jack’s Gala: Reaching for the Stars” is a unique fundraising event that will step into an evening of celestial elegance. Enjoy a night out for an exquisite dining experience\, captivating entertainment\, and exciting auctions! All in support of finding a cure for Jack! Together\, let us be inspired and reach for the stars! \nThe Laidlaw Family\nWe are Richard and Anna Laidlaw\, and we live in Ottawa\, Ontario\, Canada with our family. We have 3 beautiful sons who bring so much joy to our lives: Jack who is 7 and in grade 2\, Scott who is 5 and in senior kindergarten\, and Tom who is 3 and in preschool.\nOur eldest son Jack is a bright\, happy\, friendly and empathetic boy. He has many hobbies ranging from hockey and other sports to playing piano! He dreams of being an astronaut and wants to be the first person to walk on Mars!\nUnfortunately In December of 2023\, Jack was diagnosed with SPG4. As his parents\, we were left feeling devastated and helpless. \nWhat is SPG4\nSPG4 is a rare genetic disease and neurological disorder. It is characterized by degeneration of neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The main symptom of SPG4 is muscle weakness and spasticity (stiffness) in the legs. Once symptoms begin\, neuron degeneration continues leading to progressive muscle weakness and spasticity. \nWe need your support\nBecause a small population is affected by SPG4 (1 in 50\,000 people)\, research for the SPG4 Cure Project does not have funding. It has fallen on families affected by SPG4 to raise money and fund this project so that the cure can reach human clinical trials. We are hosting “Jack’s Gala: Reaching for the Stars” to help raise money to fund research for the SPG4 Cure Project. This will be a night of hope for Jack and the Laidlaw family. \nFor more information please go to our website! \nREGISTER HERE
