My Nonprofit Reviews

FAST is an amazing group of volunteers who's mission is to help speed the research for a cure/treatment for Angelman Syndrome. The foundation is nearly 100% staffed by dedicated parents of Angelman Syndrome children. Not only has this foundation brought together a community of AS afflicted families, but it has taken a seriously diagnosis of "NEVER-Will-DO's" and turned it around to a feeling of "HOPE". Families can now imagine what their children will be able to achieve in life. They may get to hear their child's voice, they may see their child live without seizures, they may see them live an independent life, but mostly they may get all their lost dreams back again. There is nothing more devastating than to have a child and then have all your dreams and hopes taken away in one breathe of getting the diagnosis of Angelman Syndrome, but now FAST has turned those lost dreams around to being possible. It is hard to share the feelings a parent has when embraced by this group of people. I am lucky to sit on the board of FAST and even more lucky to be able to touch the lives of so many other families who have gone through exactly what I have gone through. The members of FAST the community of supporters is like no other and I am blessed every day to call myself one of them. This foundation has turned my life around and I am a better person, friend and parent for it.
