Don't Stop the Science!


We're at a crossroads, and we need your help!
 

Since beginning this journey to create a treatment for Rose's disease, we've funded a natural history study, started a lab, developed cell lines, created ASO (oligo) designs for a potential treatment, and are currently shortlisting the best ASOs for further testing at the Jackson Laboratory in Maine.

As we get closer to a treatment, this program gets much more expensive. We're at a pivotal moment at the foundation, and if we want to stay on track and get a treatment made, we need your help raising $700K by Fall 2023.

Our Story
 

 

As a toddler, Rose McPherson was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease with no name, and no cure. To her father, Casey, it felt like a death sentence... until he spoke to hundreds of biotechs, foundations, and researchers. Casey learned:

 

We DO have the tools to cure Rose's disease (HNRNPH2), and many others.

 

We DON'T have the business models, pipelines, and financial support in place to do it.

 

To Cure A Rose Foundation was born to solve this problem for Rose and the 200m children that suffer from rare diseases. At the moment, 95% of them don't have any cures. This is an urgent health crisis for these forgotten children, and we aim to help fix it.

 

We start by saving Rose.

Fund-a-Need


$1,000 Fund 5 Samples for Protein Studies

HNRNPH2 Mutations mean Rose's body doesn't produce the right proteins she needs to grow and function. In order to treat this condition, we need to compare how nuclear protein complexes and protein levels differ in Rose's mutated cells vs. healthy, functioning cells. Help fund 5 of the many samples we need to accomplish this!

$2,500 Fund a Mouse-Ready ASO

Once we've shortlisted the top ASO (oligo) drug candidates, we need to develop one that can be tested in an animal model. Each one costs $2,500, and your contribution can fund one of the seven we need to develop!

$5,000 Fund a 2D-DIGE Experiment

This $5,000 experiment shows us differing proteins between Healthy and Unhealthy (HNRNPH2-mutated) cells. Please help fund this crucial experiment!

$25,000 Fund a GMP-Certified ASO!

Once we finish our mouse study, we'll need to also test the safety of this potential treatment in larger animal models before we can give it to Rose. We need to develop a GMP-Certified ASO for this process, which means there will be additional safety and quality control measures that need to be funded. Help us get this treatment ready for children like Rose!
