Show Notes:
Nancy Kessler is an SRF BOD member, an active volunteer & advocate, and has hosted the SRF Gala honoring her sister Caren Leib for three years, including coming up on October 21, 2023. Caren is the oldest known person diagnosed with SYNGAP1. It is impossible to do justice to her 67 years on this planet, but luckily, Caren starred in her own movie, and Nancy has shared numerous other stories about her sister’s life. We hope you enjoy this unique episode, then check out the links below to learn even more about this family that is so special to the SynGAP Research Fund community.
