Lake Norman, North Carolina

We are reaching out to enlist your support for the Alpha-1 Foundation’s mission to find a cure for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency and improve the lives of people affected by Alpha-1 worldwide. In August 2019, our lives changed when our daughter Tess was diagnosed with Alpha-1 at just 9 months old. In the face of fear and uncertainty about her diagnosis, we found strength in each other and the unwavering support from the Alpha-1 Foundation.

To date, the Alpha-1 Foundation has invested more than $100 million in research and related programs. They didn’t just provide us with guidance and hope; they gave us a lifeline. Their commitment to funding vital research and support programs has the power to change lives, and we are coming together to give back.  Every dollar raised will directly advance research efforts and enhance programs that support families like ours.

Your donation supports critical research to discover new therapies and improve treatment for Alphas everywhere. Every gift advances research, care, advocacy, and education for those living with Alpha-1-related lung and liver disease. Together, we are fighting for a cure for Alpha-1.

As we share our journey, we invite you to open your hearts and join us in this important mission. Every tax-deductible contribution brings us closer to a world where no family receives the diagnosis we did.

Thank you for standing with us and believing in a brighter future for all Alphas!

Sincerely, The Carr Family
