2026 RACE RECAP

Race to TREATMENT

Everly has a life debilitating genetic disorder called FRRS1L (pronounced Frizzle) that caused her to lose all her abilities at the age of two. She is cognitively present, sharp, and capable and demonstrates that by using an eye gaze communication device. Everly is trapped in a body she can’t control or move, preventing her from playing and engaging the world and people she loves. BUT, that would all change with treatment that would bring Everly’s brain and body back to function. Research shows it will work, we just need to fund the one time treatment. Everly is doing this kids adaptive triathlon to share her story of hope and to raise the final funding to start a clinical trial this fall. Help us get this treatment to the finishline! Donate today!

All donations are through Finding Hope for FRRS1L, the nonprofit started by Everly’s parents alongside one other Frizzle family. Finding Hope for FRRS1L is a 501c3 nonprofit registered in Colorado. All donations by US citizens are tax deductible. Finding Hope for FRRS1L has no paid staff and minimal overhead costs so that all donations go to funding treatment. Every dollar goes directly to treat Everly and her Frizzle friends from around the world in our upcoming Frizzle Clinical Trial.
