Connor and I want to attend the 2019 AXYS Family Conference in Atlanta, GA from June 28 - 30th.

This conference provides an opportunity for us to hear up to date information from medical professionals and leading researchers on x & y variations as well as meeting others in the x & y community from across the globe. This 2-day event will help us to learn more about how we can improve our lives.

This past summer was the first time Connor had ever met someone else with a chromosomal disorder. After his first one he posted on Instagram. "Today I went to an XXY/XYY meet and greet where I could meet other men that can relate with me. Ryan Bregante has a YouTube channel and explains what living with XXY is like. Even though I have XYY and most men at the meet and greet have XXY we all experience similar events in our lifetime. This has changed the way I see myself, knowing that someone else understands how I feel."

Connor is very curious and also wants to spread knowledge around XYY. This conference will give him an opportunity to learn, meet and grow more confident with himself having XYY. As for me it give me more in site to families and individuals living with XYY . It will amazing opportunity to learn how to support and help Connor.

Once we reach our fundraising goal, AXYS will waive my registration fee and cover my hotel costs. All donations go directly to AXYS, which is a registered 501(c)(3) charity. Please consider supporting me by making a donation so I can attend this amazing event. Thank you!
