 Hello there, bakers!

Hope you are all doing great!

This is Borja and Alicia from CRG. 

We are the ones organising next week’s bake sale at the PRBB in support of the Spanish Association of children affected by the DYRK1A syndrome and their families (https://aesdyrk1a.org/). 

This ultra-rare disease is caused by genetic mutations in the DYRK1A gene, affecting different cellular processes and characterised by causing intellectual disability, language problems, feeding difficulties, epilepsy, and behavioral alterations within the autism spectrum disorder, among other serious symptoms. There is currently no cure or pharmaceutical treatment, therefore patients depend solely on individualized and interdisciplinary lifelong care. 

In our lab we study the function of the DYRK1A protein and we have had the luck to get to meet some of these children and their families in several occasions on different meetings that they have organised and we know for a fact that they are wonderful people and incredible fighters that deserve  all the help we can get them.

We just wanted to let you know that we are one week from the event (next Thursday, 21st of March - 9 to 11:30 am) and we are in desperate need of bakers that can help us provide enough options for the sale.

We would greatly appreciate if you could contribute with some of you delicious cakes, muffins, sandwiches, etc.

We are pretty much covered with the rest (coffee, tea and other beverages, etc.)!

Please let us know ASAP or sign in in the "Schedule 2.0” document in the Google Drive so that we can plan ahead.

Thank you so much in advance for your implication!

All the best,

Borja
