In the News: Hempfield Girl Growing Stronger
Hempfield girl growing stronger since stem cell transplant; Pittsburgh Tribune Review; Mary Pickels; Friday, January 2010
Welcome to HelpFallyn.org! This site was created to raise awareness and support for Fallyn R. McNamara. Fallyn was born with a rare and painful genetic disorder known as recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). She, and children like her, are know as "butterfly children" because their skin (both inside and out) is as fragile as the wings of a butterfly.
See Fallyn's story:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fallyn is a participant in clinical trials at the University of Minnesota Children's Hospital, Fairview where researchers continue to work on a potential cure for this previously incurable disease. Fallyn started the treatment process in June 2009 and is doing well! Fallyn and her family still need YOUR help raising funds to cover the costs of follow-up care that other sources will not. Without your generosity, this journey of hope for Fallyn and her family would not be possible. Here you can learn about Fallyn, follow her progress, find out the facts on RDEB, Donate to this special cause, volunteer your time and more. Thank you for your interest, time & support!!
