“Our daughter, Rachael, was a sweet, loving, compassionate child, whose life was tragically cut short by Leigh syndrome – one of the mitochondrial diseases to which Dr. Iyer has dedicated so much of her life’s work.
We know that the only way we’ll find treatments and cures is through the UMDF’s efforts to empower passionate professionals like Dr. Iyer – be it by directly funding research, educating healthcare providers, or as in this case, unlocking federal dollars through advocacy.
That’s why the Rachael Albertson Family Research Fund is matching all gifts – up to the first $25,000 – made by June 1, 2025.
Thank you for joining us in this fight!”
