I nominate the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics for their continued outstanding support of my granddaughter and her fellow angels born with Angelman Syndrome. It is because of this organization that we just completed the first ever human clinical trial on a medication that may bring hope to her and all her friends with AS. This organization has been in existence less than 5 yrs and is totally nonprofit, ran by parents and friends of those with AS and ALL funds go for research projects. Not one board member collects a pay check. They are all volunteers working towards a cure for AS.

FAST in 100% non profit and ran strictly by a board of highly professional, motivated parents and business people striving to raise awareness and fund pertinent research towards finding therapeutic treatments to enhance the lives of all children born with this rare genetic disorder. They are currently funding the first human clinical trial with Dr Edwin Weeber for which my granddaughter is one of 24 participants. This is HUGE for a organization that is less than 5yrs old and my family like many others are beyond grateful to FAST for the amount of public awareness they have raised regarding Angelman Syndrome in their short existence. They are currently bringing together researchers from around the world to work as a team sharing their individual expertise in hopes of reaching the ultimate goal of finding the cure for all our angels. May God be with them as they push forward in the days ahead. Hope Reigns Supreme, thanks to FAST's dedication and strive towards excellence.

The Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics and its entire board are the most dedicated organization for Angelman Syndrome to date. They work endlessly towards funding clinical trials to improve the lives of every single angel across the world. They ARE the greatest Non profit organization in existence when it comes to support of our angels. Every single dime is utilized towards finding a cure and not one single board member receives a penny in compensation. Thank God for F.A.S.T. and their desire to think out of the box and push towards curing AS.

My daughter is 10 and has Angelman Syndrome. When we got her diagnosis 9 years ago, our neurologist cautioned us from reading the reports on the internet about people with Agelman. Since then, research has exploded. Now we expect the development of a therapeutic during her lifetime. FAST is making this possible as they funnel every cent toward research. The icing on the cake is that the staff and support and community of FAST is not just geared toward research; the support they provide (through personal relationships) is immeasurable.

There was no question that FAST stood for everything that I believed in and wanted to support as a parent of a newly diagnosed little boy with AS. This organization is committed to fighting for our children and spending every cent (100% to be exact) in the most efficient and productive ways that will produce life changing outcomes. The very first potential treatment for AS was funded by FAST and a community that worked hard to raise the funds needed to start the clinical trial that is currently under way. FAST's passion and determination is actually changing the way medical research is being funded and they have completely restored faith and hope that brighter days are ahead.

The mission of FAST has brought my family much HOPE during some initial dark days after discovering my son's AS. To learn that FAST is committed to funding the research that will bring meaningful treatments into the lives of our kids NOW while continuing to find the ultimate cure in the near future--- is simply amazing. What's even more amazing-it's driven by a volunteer board/scientific board & staff. Funds being raised via FAST are making big things happen and truly changing the landscape of our kids futures!

FAST has helped unify the community that cares about individuals with Angelman Syndrome, with a message of HOPE for a treatment for this devastating neurogenetic disorder. The organization's leadership volunteers the time and skills necessary for running the organization. Many necessary supplies and services are donated, meaning almost all of every dollar donated goes towards our mission of improving the lives of those with Angelman Syndrome and funding research for a cure. Members are empowered and inspired to contribute their own skill sets and resources to assist in the running of the organization and to fundraise creatively. This young and vibrant organization has already supported great progress in awareness and research funding.
