Did you know PPA2 deficiency is a mitochondrial disease? It’s an ultra-rare genetic disorder that affects how the mitochondria function and can lead to life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest. This week, we’re proud to raise awareness 💚 #WorldMitoWeek2026

Proud that MN is one of the states participating in the #NIH funded BEACONS Newborn Screening project! Especially excited that PPA2 is one of the genes being screened. Earlier detection means more opportunities to protect children & support families. beaconsnbs.org

As AAU basketball season is underway & we once again enter the gym as a family. It hits differently. Claire survived, @PGHMinnesota did a wonderful story on why we are fighting each day to raise funds for life-saving research. #PPA2 @UMNews Support here rarednafoundation.org/fundra…

Happy Easter! He is Risen ✝️ We do not underestimate the power of our God. As Claire said in an interview this year, “God saved me for a reason…” Thank you to each of who who is part of this next chapter of her story.
