You’ll help change lives like Jett’s.
When Jett was just a newborn, his parents discovered he was profoundly deaf. But that was only the beginning — genetic testing revealed he had Usher Syndrome Type 1B, a rare condition that causes hearing loss, balance issues, and progressive vision loss. Doctors told them Jett would be legally blind by 18. “It rocked us to the core,” said his mum, Beth. “You feel like a black cloud is hanging over you.”
But Jett’s story doesn’t end there. His family was connected to Children’s Medical Research Institute, where scientists are developing gene therapy to stop the vision loss before it starts. Jett’s donated blood is now helping researchers get closer to that breakthrough. “Research gives Jett options for his future,” Beth said. “Without CMRI, we wouldn't have that hope.”
By signing up for Ks for Kids, you’ll help labs stay open, research move forward — and give kids like Jett a brighter future.
