Mary Therese Rose Crilly was born in 1998 with Joubert Syndrome a rare genetic disorder which left her profoundly disabled. Though physically limited, Mary’s limitless love and courage inspired those closest to her to establish a fund in her name to benefit special needs children being treated out of the Kireker Center for Child Development. The Fund provides needed therapies and equipment that are so often denied by insurance companies because of lifetime insurance benefit limits or simple denial of reasonable claims.

Each year The Mary Therese Rose Fund helps families pay for needed equipment like orthotics, braces, and standers. It also funds activities such as horseback riding that are therapeutic and brighten the lives of these special kids. It is the goal of The Mary Therese Rose Fund to help these special children reclaim some of the simple joys of childhood denied them by their disabilities.  Though Mary passed away in 2003 her brief life was filled with joy. In gratitude, and to honor her memory, supporters of the Mary Therese Rose Fund continue to work so that other special children can experience some of childhood's simple joys as Mary did.  For more information on the Mary Therese Rose Fund, go to www.marythereserose.org.
