About the Calliope Joy Foundation
When Pat and Maria Carr's youngest child was diagnosed with leukodystrophy (a degenerative, fatal neurological disease impacting the brain's white matter or myelin) in 2012, it was Cal's older brother who had the idea to sell cupcakes to find a cure for Cal's disease.
The Calliope Joy Foundation was launched in 2013, and since then, we have been on a mission to provide cures and community to families impacted by leukodystrophy.
Help us bring life-saving and life-changing treatments to families around the world.
How To Help
