Winnie Ryan
Linda Zabors
Winnie Maureen Ryan and her sister, Lucy Claire, had an extremely rare form of mitochondrial disease which led to her progressive decline and death at the age of 6. It is estimated that fewer than 20 people worldwide had this particular gene mutation (FDXR).
The “Rally4Ryan Sisters” campaign raised funds and awareness for their care.
