Fighting for ALSP Awareness, Treatment, and Cure: A Family’s Journey With a Rare Brain Disease | ABF 

Jeffrey Cade’s life was changed overnight when he was diagnosed with ALSP, a rare and fatal genetic brain disease with no long-term treatments or cures. Before ALSP, Jeffrey was an active soccer player and an inspiring coach for hundreds of young athletes. Today, he has difficulty speaking and walking, and he requires 24/7 care.
ALSP (adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia) shares many commonalities with other leukodystrophy disorders as well as brain diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s, and dementia. This means that finding treatments for one disease will create a huge leap forward in the treatment of others.
