Patient Journey: In the Spotlight

Every journey tells a story worth sharing.

We are a family of 5 from Hungary. Our middle child is Simi (pronounced: Shimi), a 10-year-old boy who has pseudoachondroplasia. We had been raising funds since December 2024 to get Simi’s legs straightened and lengthened at the European Paley Institute when at the end of May, our paediatrician noticed something unusual during a routine examination. Simi’s leg reflexes and certain neurological signs suggested there might be a serious underlying problem. - Simi
