Daniel Beasley was hospitalized over five weeks ago with a rare neurological illness involving GFAP, a protein found in the central nervous system and spinal fluid. Children’s Hospital is working closely with the Mayo Clinic for treatment protocol. Mayo Clinic has only treated 5 cases of this illness in adolescents.  Daniel will require intensive inpatient rehabilitation following his stay in the ICU. He has a tough fight on his hands  moving forward and it’s obviously putting an emotional and financial strain on the family (single parent household). DB was in the Waldorf program at 7/8 yrs old and has been a part of our club since 2013.
