When Ka'lee was just two-years-old, his family's world changed forever. He was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare and progressive genetic disorder that affects muscle strength and mobility. In the face of uncertainty, his family found hope at Nicklaus Children's Hospital’s Neuroscience Institute.
Through the expertise of our nationally recognized specialists, Ka'lee became one of the first children in South Florida to receive a groundbreaking gene therapy that is helping change the future for children living with DMD.
Today, Ka'lee is a joyful, energetic ten-year-old whose story is a powerful reminder of what compassionate care, medical innovation, and generous supporters like you can make possible.
