A Cure for Ellie is a non-profit organization named after Ellie McGinn, a young girl in Arlington, Virginia who was diagnosed with LBSL in 2011 at age three. Ellie and her parents have made it their mission to spread awareness about the disease; offer support to other families; and drive research that they pray will lead to a cure.
