Families & Caregivers
Get Involved
Whether you are a seasoned fundraiser, natural connector, or are reading this as a newly diagnosed parent or caregiver, we see you and value your participation in our efforts to Cure Angelman Now. Together, we can channel our collective pain into purpose and be a part of the solution for Angelman syndrome. Join us, collaborate with us, create a coalition with us that drives impact forward in improbable ways. There are so many ways to lean into this effort—whether it’s your time, talent, or treasure; we encourage you to participate in a way that inspires you.
The Cure Angelman Network (CAN) is a group determined to help Cure Angelman Now. It is a community; a network of opportunities (big and small) to support one another and those living with Angelman syndrome.
CAN is about rallying together to make things happen. It’s advocating the government to better understand AS by encouraging them to “walk” a day in our shoes; it’s soliciting friends, families, and businesses to raise critical dollars to fund research for a cure; it’s hosting an event big or small to educate, inspire and engage more people in this mission…it’s a network of brave and relentless members of the AS community coming together to Cure Angelman Now.
