Our purpose

Turning every step forward into a shared victory.

Hello everyone!

My parents created this website so you can follow my progress, share my little victories and, above all, learn about this rare disease. Behind every milestone is a great deal of love, courage, appointments and a determination to keep hoping.

Sharing this website, talking about Leigh syndrome or following my adventures are simple actions that make a real difference. The more of us there are, the further our message can travel.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts — Lana and her family

They vary in severity and may include low muscle tone, motor difficulties, loss of acquired skills, and problems with balance or coordination.

03

What treatments are available?

A new adventure

Lana sets off in an all-terrain wheelchair.

A first outing filled with emotion, smiles and unforgettable memories.

Thanks to the Alice et les Petits Guerriers charity, Lana was the first of many little warriors to ride in this all-terrain wheelchair. Her smile, her discoveries and the joy of sharing this adventure with her family will remain a precious memory.

Illness or disability should never prevent a child from discovering, laughing and enjoying wonderful adventures.
