22q Central
22q Central is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the goal of promoting awareness and education regarding a common, yet many times overlooked, genetic disorder known as 22q11.2 Deletion Disorder, DiGeorge Syndrome, VCFS (velo-cardio-facial syndrome) and others. Parents, caregivers, and extended family of those with VCFS face difficult challenges that require practical solutions, and that is exactly what you'll find here. As a worldwide community resource center, we hope that you'll join the many voices of experience that speak here, and that you'll share in reaching out to others with your own unique perspective. We offer you a welcoming, safe and comfortable place to interact with other parents and professionals, and an opportunity to learn, share and get involved. We want to become "A friend of your family."
22q Ireland
It all started when Anne, Derek and Margaret met at a conference in the UK and realised that there was a need for a similar group in Ireland and so 22q11 was born in 2007. With the help of Ken Doherty, the patron of our organisation and Rhona O’Connor (formerly Bank of Scotland) the original website was launched. As anyone involved in 22q11 Ireland will tell you our conferences are one of our biggest events of the year and the first one was no different. Eighty people were invited to the first conference, we expected forty and were surprised and delighted when one hundred and twenty came. Membership of the group went from three families to sixty and now stands at approx 90 families.
Angels with Missing Pieces (AMP22Q)
To provide support, spread awareness, and raise funds to assist 22Q families in the Kansas City Metro Area.
Chromosome 22 Central (C22C)
Our group offers basic information on the main chromosome 22 disorders, but mostly we are about connecting and learning from each other. Even our get-togethers (I hesitate to call them conferences) are informal and family style. No workshops, just good talk among friends. You'd be amazed what parents can learn from each other. We have a wealth of information between us all.
Chromosome 22 Central is a parent run support organization. We started in 1997 with just a handful of families who had children with what is now known as Emanuel Syndrome, and now we support over 1000 families in all corners of the world, who have many different chromosome 22 disorders. When we started out, the Internet was in its infancy, and we connected mainly by email lists. With social networking today, it is so easy to go on-line and instantly find supportive families who can help you.
