Something about Christian.

Christian is our Eleven-year-old son. He likes to sing, dance, and he loves to go to
Birthday parties.You would think he's just another normal eleven-year-old boy, he's not.
Christian has a rare genetic disorder called Hunters Syndrome or MPS II.
This means he is missing an essential enzyme that breaks down a complex body sugar.
This sugar is then slowly stored in all the cells of his body causing devastating results.
As the Hunter Syndrome progresses it cripples Christians little body until he won't be able
to walk, talk, or hear. The storage of the MPS in his brain will cause swelling and brain damage
resulting in mental retardation, dementia and eventually death. Our son has an expected life span of
10 to 14 years. So now we're fighting for our son’s life. This foundation is dedicated to
fighting for a cure for MPS. We are asking for help.

There is hope!

There are a handful of researchers working right now to find a cure for MPS.
They have come very close and we want to make sure they can continue.
It's critical that they have the funding they need to continue this work. It is
a matter of life and death for Christian and thousands of other children
suffering from various forms of this devastating disorder. We have started
The Christian Lon Foundation for MPS Children to raise awareness of
MPS and fund researchers working on a cure. Please consider supporting
our foundation and finding out more about these beautiful children. You
could be their only chance at life. They fight everyday to live as MPS
breaks their little bodies. Help us save our son and all these children.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about Christian's fight. Now it's
time to get to work and save these children's lives!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

The Lon Family
