Ataxia-Telangiectasia - "ay-TACK-see-uh Teh-LAN-jick-TAY-sha"


The A-T Children's Project is a non-profit organization that raises funds to support and coordinate first-rate biomedical research projects, scientific conferences and a
clinical center aimed at finding a cure or life-improving therapies for ataxia-telangiectasia, a lethal genetic disease that attacks children, causing progressive
loss of muscle control, immune system problems, and a strikingly high rate of cancer, especially leukemia and lymphoma.


The A-T Children's Project is a registered charity in both the United States and Canada.
