Accelerating access to gene therapy for ultra-rare genetic disorders
The Columbus Children’s Foundation is driven by the urgency to advance gene therapy research to bring hope to children with ultra-rare genetic diseases.
Improving lives of children with ultra-rare diseases
Our goal is to see children going from wheelchairs to walking; from no speech to speaking; from lacking sight to seeing smiles; and from only receiving hugs to giving hugs.
Global Partner: Interventional NeuroTherapy Center, Brodno Hospital, Warsaw, Poland
Brodno Hospital provides avenues for advanced gene therapy treatments for the world’s rarest children. This is the first Interventional Neurology Center (INC) to open in Europe and the second in the world. Led by Krys Bankiewicz, doctors at the INC perform extremely precise operations to treat and cure children from around the world.
Marta M., Spain
Marta M. was just two months old when she was diagnosed as only the 100th child in Spain with Niemann- Pick type C disorder, an incurable neurodegenerative hereditary disease with a life expectancy of, at best, 20 years. Thanks to the support of the Fundacion Columbus, our European counterpart, Marta now has a life filled with hope.
The Power of Music
"We build bridges to help children born with ultra-rare diseases through the power of music. Just as a musical composition is a complex combination of perfectly tuned notes, so is the human genome. When in perfect harmony, both have amazing healing powers. Our worldwide concerts build awareness for children with ultra-rare diseases to raise needed funds.”
