Matilda's parents learnt her fate when she was just three months old. They are doing everything in their power to stop Sanfilippo before it robs Matilda of every precious milestone.
Sanfilippo has already devastated my husband’s family once. Lachlan’s oldest brother had Sanfilippo Syndrome. While planning our pregnancy, we asked doctors about Sanfilippo as we knew Lachlan was more than likely to be a carrier due to his older brother Quinnton. We were told “not to worry” as the chances of me also being a carrier were so small. After Matilda (Tilly) was born we requested a screening for peace of mind.
