Wyatt's Service Dog
Wyatt
is a precious 9 year old North Texas boy who loves donuts with sprinkles and
watching his big brother's football games and track meets. In August of 2012,
he was diagnosed with epilepsy and cataplexy, a disorder that causes him to
suddenly fall without warning numerous times each day. In February of 2013,
Wyatt was diagnosed with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C, or NPC. NPC is a
progressive, degenerative disease that is caused by problems with cholesterol
storage in the body. Researchers are working on a cure, without one in the next
few years, NPC is always fatal. We need to keep Wyatt healthy and comfortable
as long as we can to allow him to participate in a clinical trial for a
potential treatment that is currently in progress. More can be learned about
NPC by going here: www.nnpdf.org.
We are raising money for a specially trained service dog, ongoing medical expenses, and other unforseen necessities. Every penny counts for Wyatt. Please help!
