Vienna’s 6th (heavenly) Birthday Fundraiser
Why: Because SUDC (Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood) can happen to ANY FAMILY, it is barely known in the world among the medical community and general public (essentially, SIDS Part 2), and there is NO federal funding for SUDC-focused research
This is a fundraiser for Team Vienna’s mission to support SUDC genetic research at Boston Children’s Hospital, as part of the Robert’s Program. Vienna and her family are enrolled in this study to hopefully gain answers to why Vienna and other kids died unexpectedly.
GOAL: Support as many SUDC families as possible to complete genetic testing, therefore increasing data to uncover causes of SUDC and preventing this horrible tragedy from happening to other families.
*Every $3000 raised makes the sequencing possible for one family triad (mom, dad, deceased child).

“We are already seeing the value of advancing our understanding of SUDC beyond neuropathological findings and including genetics in our analysis. Every day we become more able to provide bereaved parents with answers to why their child died and counsel them about risks for associated diseases or recurrence in their family.” -Dr. Richard Goldstein, Principal Investigator of the Robert’s Program, Boston Children’s Hospital
What is SUDC?
*Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood
