What a great story! a website started a little more than 10 years ago by Gloria to build a community to spread the word about this rare disorder and support people with OT. This community has grown over the years and in 2008 a handful of courageous people traveled to Rochester Minnesota for the very first OT meeting.
At this meeting in Rochester the idea of building a fund for research was launched. With careful consideration NORD was chosen to be the facilitator of the grant process. NORD has a terrific organization and made the process seamless. In 3 years with the generous support of the OT forum members and friends the goal was reached to start the process.
Everyone here should be very proud of being part of this process!
Whether anything will develop from these projects is unknown, but something is being done and that is a step forward. We may learn what OT isn’t and there is success in that result too. OT will be the focus of 2 concurrent research projects because of your help, and for this we are all thankful.
