Martin Parise (41 years old) Born January 11 1975 CACH Syndrome Martin has suffered from this disease since birth. This form of leukodystrophy that Martin suffers from evolves very slowly and allowed him to finish high school and even drive a car. At 20 years old, Martin was bound to a wheelchair because his motor problems worsened and prevented him from walking normally. Moreover, the evolution of his illness causes him speech problems that prevented him from communicating properly. After doing years of research, we went to the Maryland Neurological Institute in Bethesda where Martin had a brain biopsy. The samples were then sent to France, which then confirmed his CACH syndrome diagnosis. There is so little research being done on this disease. I want to do something for my son, so that I can keep him. Please help me, His mother.
