What is F.O.G.?

Thank you for taking the time to visit FogRun.org. I am Kim Cogavin, founder of the non-profit organization Families & Friends of Children with Genetic Disorders (F.O.G.) of West Roxbury, Massachusetts. After my son was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, I created non-profit in order to support research, education and prevention of genetic disorders. Many families like mine are affected by a rare genetic or chromosomal disorder and at this time, doctors do not have enough information.

There are many, many variations in the types of genetic disorders that can occur and my son is one of the only documented cases in the world with his type, which is described as chromosome "6Q24.1-25.1 Deletion". Unfortunately, due to the unknown nature of his case, doctors are not able to predict what his future might be. At this moment, he is performing at his age level with some minor developmental delays, mainly physical. We cannot say with confidence -- and can only hope -- that this will continue to be the case. 

F.O.G. envisions a time in the not-so-distant future when doctors will have a great deal of information available on each and every genetic disorder. They will be able to tell parents symptoms associated with a particular disorder as well as find a way to prevent genetic disorders altogether. 

Every day many children are born with genetic disorders. That is why I need your help to support our various events, such as our Annual Families & Friends of Children with Genetic Disorders 5k Walk/Run (F.O.G.). Let's bring awareness to the community and give our kids the best chance at a normal future!

1st Annual 5k Road Race is October 4th!!
