About

In 2025, Cael's Climb 5K and Fun Day for Dravet raised $48,487 for Dravet syndrome research! When you add that to the $52,000 raised the year before, our community has now contributed more than $100,000 toward finding a cure for Dravet syndrome in just two years! We truly could not do this without you.

​

​100% of the funds raised through Cael’s Climb go directly to the Dravet Syndrome Foundation’s research grant program, and we are incredibly proud to share that last year’s event helped fund a grant awarded to Dr. Mahima Dewani, PhD at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. Her research is titled Rewriting the Brain’s Code: Nose-to-Brain Gene Therapy for SCN1A Haploinsufficiency. She is exploring a new way to deliver gene therapy to the brain through the nasal passage, going after the genetic root cause of Dravet syndrome. Knowing that your support helps to fuel groundbreaking research like this means more to our family than we can put into words and gives families like ours genuine hope for the future.

​

Let's keep this momentum going to make Cael's Climb 2026 our best year yet!
