Christopher
Christopher was born a healthy, vibrant boy on July 5, 1989 - until he was 12.  In February of 2002, after a sudden onslaught of debilitating symptoms, he was diagnosed with BVVL.

He is still fighting every day for his life...waiting for a treatment.

Every day for him takes more courage than any of us could ever imagine.
