With limited research and resources, she co-founded the SHINE Syndrome Foundation to improve the quality of life for children and families impacted by this disease through supporting collaborative research among international medical professionals, nurturing a family community and raising worldwide awareness. Watch as Mara shares her story and how the #RAREis Global Advocate Grant has supported her mission.
