Once Upon A Cure - Video: Public Service Announcement for September Gala

Source: You Tube

A Public Service Announcement by Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman and Elyse Levesque for the 'Once Upon a Cure' Gala benefitting MPS II Hunter Syndrome Research on September 24, 2011 at The Sutton Place Hotel in Vancouver, BC. Details at: www.onceuponacure.com or www.treypurcell.com



Ryan Purcell worked as a camera operation for the Stargate franchise, beginning with Stargate Atlantis, and then Stargate Universe. Ryan's son Trey was diagnosed with a rare genetic and progressive disease called Hunter Syndrome, or MPS-II (mucopolysaccharidosis II) in 2006. The Purcells established the MPS-II Research Fund within the Canadian MPS Society (charity number: 12903 0409 RR0001) and began fundraising. Their efforts started with the annual “Tacos for Trey” fundraiser, a local event geared towards families – the goal of which was to fund one $40,000 research grant each year specifically for Hunter Syndrome research.

With this Gala, we are hoping to take the fundraising, which began with “Tacos for Trey,” to a higher level. All donations made to the MPS II Fund go directly towards MPS II research, minus a 5% administration fee. The costs associated with advocacy and fundraising are either donated or paid for by the Purcell family. Since 2007, the MPS II Fund has granted $184,000 to research.
