We Celebrate the 1-Year Anniversary of Aidan’s Law

March 12, 2013 by Brian's Hope

Thanks to Elisa Seeger (pictured), it has been 1 year since New York State passed ‘Aidans Law’ to screen all newborns for ALD. After her own son passed away from the disease, Seeger has showed extreme passion to save lives and has pushed to have the law enacted nationwide. Since the law has been passed in NY, 3 infants have been diagnosed, meaning they will be able to receive life saving treatment before it’s too late. Wonderful news as we celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Aidan’s Law!
