Christy Hammomd's Fundraising Page
When Grant was born, much of the literature we read about Cri du Chat was very grim. His life expectancy was to be brief, and developmental gains were to be very poor. 12 years later, we celebrate a loving young man who is exceeding many goals daily! Grant is happy boy who cannot get his hands on enough reading material. You tube and Pinterest are his passions and he will talk your ear off, especially if you help him make lists!
This year, to celebrate Cri du Chat awareness week, we will honour Grant by walking in the virtual 5k for 5p-!
Please consider joining us/ sponsoring our little miracle and the 5p-society! Together we can spread awareness about this syndrome.

About Virtual 5k for 5p-
Each year in the United States, approximately 50 to 60 children are born with 5p- Syndrome (five p minus), also known as Cat Cry Syndrome or Cri du Chat Syndrome. 5p- Syndrome is characterized at birth by a high pitched cry, low birth weight, poor muscle tone, microcephaly, and potential medical complications. "5p-" is a term used by geneticists to describe a portion of chromosome number five that is missing in these individuals. 5p deletion is a spectrum disorder. Founded in 1986, the 5p- Society's mission is to encourage and facilitate communication among families having a child with 5p- Syndrome and also to spread awareness and education of the syndrome to these families and their service providers. As the society continues to forge a path ahead for the awareness, advocacy, and support of our families with Cri Du Chat, we continue to need financial support. The financial support that the society gains will allow more families to be touched positively as our loved ones grow and develop. Your support and participation in the Virtual 5k for 5p- is appreciated! The 5p- Society is a recognized 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
