On Point With Alex Pierson

A young Brockville mother is in a desperate race against time to raise money for experimental treatment for her critically ill son Kaiden. He was diagnosed with Sandhoff disease, a rare genetic disorder. Costing approximately $10,000 per month, Kristen Sturgeon says their family’s insurance recently stopped covering the drug trial. She is hoping to raise 1 million dollars to start a human trial on an experimental drug that could save her son's life. You can find more information at www.cureforkaiden.com.
