One of our KCNT1 warriors continues to spread the word about KCNT1 and the need for new treatments and funding for research.

Our parent ambassador, Catherine Holliday, is doing a great job creating awareness for KCNT1. Her family has been featured by numerous media outlets after Action Medical funded a drug repurposing screening in search for KCNT1 inhibitors. We hope to identify a top candidate from the screening to take to clinical trials soon.

We are grateful for the Arpin International Group and Arpin Strong for selecting our charity to support for the month of March. Arpin’s history of giving back to the community is commendable and we are honored to have been selected and supported by all the employees. The entire KCNT1 community says thank you!
