Want to Help Fund KCNB1 Research?
There are more than 6,000 diseases that affect fewer than 200,000 people annually in the United States. Research in these rare diseases is difficult because, for most, the scientific mechanisms underlying the pathology are not understood. Presenting an even larger barrier is funding this research. Northwestern Hospital, where two important KCNB1 studies are taking place, now has a fund set up where you can donate online or by check via mail. All donations are tax deductible and are 100% allocated to KCNB1 research.
Make your tax-deductible donation to KCNB1 research by clicking on the link below. For gift designation, select "other" and specify "Dr Kearney KCNB1 Research" in the other designation box.
