snowmanfund

The Jack and J.T. Snow Scientific Research Foundation began as the Jack and J.T. Snow Fund at Washington University School of Medicine in late 2010. The Fund has now evolved into the Foundation, sharing the same mission, to raise awareness of and funding for research that one day will stop the progression of Wolfram syndrome. Wolfram syndrome is a rare disease that presents itself as juvenile diabetes that results in the degradation of the nerve cells in the eyes, ears and brain and in 60% of the cases, causes death before the patient's 30th birthday.
