“The CERN Foundation provided me with a wealth of knowledge. There is so much information; between research, studies, and families’ stories. I never had to feel alone. I took refuge in the information provided in those early days of my son’s diagnosis. It was scary, but with knowledge, I felt I had taken some of the power back. I wasn’t quite as helpless.”
