Every December, Kaileen looks for light.

Not just the glittering bulbs strung across her Canadian neighborhood — but the kind of light that reminds her that hope still exists. Because for Kaileen, simple joys like wrapping presents or finding her voice again are no longer guaranteed. Yet her greatest joy — her young son, Jacob — keeps that light shining. And the road to finding that light began long before her diagnosis. Kaileen lived years without answers. Her symptoms began in childhood, followed by a sudden, unexplained illness at age seven, and decades of gradual decline. In her early twenties, her mobility weakened, her breathing became compromised, and she slowly lost her voice. It wasn’t until she was 27 that she finally received a diagnosis: CMT2D caused by a spontaneous genetic mutation. Bring hope — and light — to families like Kaileen’s. Every donation counts, and all gifts are doubled up to $150,000 through December 31. Give them their greatest gift of all: a cure for CMT.
