Sebastien Beauzile just rewrote the future for New York.
At 21, he became the first person in the state cured of sickle cell disease using Lyfgenia gene therapy.
On December 17, 2024, he received the treatment. Today, he’s completely symptom-free.
“This is a fix,” his doctor told the New York Post.
“Other drugs modify the disease, but this is a cure.”
Sebastien’s story is proof, the cure works. But access still doesn’t. The treatment costs $3.1 million, leaving thousands waiting for their turn.
That’s why our work matters. Families preparing for gene therapy and life beyond the cure need education and support.
Each cure is a miracle.
Our mission is to make miracles possible for every warrior.
💙 SHARE Sebastien’s breakthrough — spread hope across the state.
