update Linda Carroll TODAY contributor 2 hours ago The parents of Eliza ONeill, the little girl with an incurable and deadly brain disorder, are making one final desperate push to raise funds for the clinical trial that will test a gene therapy for the diseaseand perhaps offer hope for Eliza. Courtesy of Glenn ONeill The ONeills have already raised $1.3 million through a viral video and hope that by Elizas fifth birthday on Sunday theyll hit their $1.8 million goal. While there is no guarantee that Eliza will be among those chosen to participate in the trial, which could start sometime in the middle of 2015, its organizers say that at this point there is no reason that she wouldnt qualify. Over the past year, the ONeills have tried to focus on aspects of life over which they have some control, such as helping to make the trial a reality and keeping their daughter as healthy as possible. Sometimes, they even allow themselves to think about what life might be like if Eliza was helped by the experimental medication.

When Glenn ONeill and his wife, Cara, learned about a gene therapy treatment that could save their daughters life, they started a foundation and set off to raise the $2.3 million it would take to fund the manufacturing and clinical trial costs for the drug. Today, thanks to about 26,000 donors from 70 different countries, theyre just $530,000 away from their goal. Their daughter, 4-year-old Eliza ONeill, suffers from Sanfilippo Syndrome-Type A, a disease that causes children to lack an enzyme necessary for normal cellular function. The disease eventually causes a lethal buildup of a toxic material called heparin sulfate, leading to learning disabilities and behavioral problems. The disease is seen in 1 in 70,000 births, and most children born with with Sanfillipo Syndrome-Type A die by the time they are teenagers. While there is currently no cure or treatment for the disease, researchers at Nationwide Childrens Hospital in Columbus, Ohio have found a potential gene therapy that, in a study, successfully rid mice of heparin sulfate buildup. When Cara spoke to lead researcher Dr. Haiyan Fu, principal investigator at the Center for Gene Therapy at Nationwide, and learned about the potential treatment, the family began raising money to fund … Continue reading →
