Christine and Charlotte's Story: The Battle Against Hereditary Chronic Pancreatitis
Imagine watching your child scream in pain, knowing there's nothing you can do to help.
Christine Cataldo from Connecticut, shares her heart-wrenching journey with hereditary chronic pancreatitis. From missing school due to intense stomach pain to the fear of passing this condition to her children, Christine's story is one of resilience and hope.
Her worst fears came true when her firstborn was diagnosed with the same mutation, turning their lives into a waiting game for the inevitable symptoms.
The pain and hospital visits have robbed her daughter of her energy and her love for lacrosse, leaving Christine desperate for a solution.
Christine dreams of a future where pain can be stopped, and the disease doesn't progress to chronic stages or cancer.
She urges support for Mission Cure, as thousands suffer without solutions, and children continue to endure unimaginable pain. Consider donating to help create more stories of hope and healing.
Join the fight for a cure today. Donate now and help families find relief and hope: mission-cure.org/donate/
