Welcome to the web-blog of one of America’s most amazing young boys.
Okay, that may seem like an exaggeration, but what can you expect from a doting mother! I thank you – quite sincerely - for visiting “Elliot’s Corner,” an on-going journal about Elliot Adler and the H.E.L.P. Research Fund.
Elliot was diagnosed with CMT2 in October of 2007 when he was 7 years old. His grandparents founded the “Help Elliot Live Proud” fund (H.E.L.P.) to raise money for CMT research shortly thereafter. This blog will be updated on a regular basis with bits of information on both the ‘boy’ and the ‘research.’
Please consider book-marking this page so you can check in on Master Elliot once in a while. Research progress will be reported as it becomes available.
Thanks again!
Enthusiastically,
Tracy

The H.E.L.P. Fund
As a mother I’m challenged to help my 8 year old understand the time and resources it will take to find a cure for CMT. All he wants to know is “when will I be able to run again” or “how can I make this go away”. I wish I could give him the date, time and place. But all I can provide is reassurance, love and hope.
Reassurance that he is whole and complete just as he is.
Love because he is so darned loveable. Hope in the fact that there are folks like his Grandma ‘Ice’ and Grandpa Nat raising funds for CMT research.
Please stay tuned to “Elliot’s Corner” for updates about Elliot and the work of the H.E.L.P. fund.
