The A-T Children's Project is a tiny group that accomplishes tremendous non-profit work and achieves many goals. Since my child has been diagnosed with A-T they have provided a great amount of support to myself and in turn, to my family. They work tirelessly to use our fundraised money to fund and find a cure for A-T. They keep the A-T clinic up and running, so families have a place to go to get exceptional trained care. I am very grateful.

Mission: Brad and Vicki Margus founded the A-T Children's Project when two of their young sons were diagnosed with A-T in 1993. Ataxia-telangiectasia is a genetic disease that attacks in early childhood. It progressively affects coordination, predisposes children to lethal cancers, and severely compromises their immune systems. Children with A-T are usually unable to walk by the age of ten and rarely live beyond their teens. By supporting and coordinating aggressive research, we hope to give them a chance to live and to enjoy life's possibilities.
