"When I was carrying Michael and learned about his illness, Adam and I reached out to other parents, genetic counselors, nurses and others so that we could make informed health decisions for our family. "The goal of this forum is to provide parents with an experienced panel of volunteers along with balanced, researched information",  Dana Puharic, Chairman of the Michael Gerard Puharic Memorial Fund, Inc.
