Jacob Losen of Mukwonago is a 10 year old boy, living with Cri Du Chat Syndrome, defying the limitations, providing hope for others, and will participate in local awareness activities. Cri Du Chat, also known as 5p- syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by intellectual disability and delayed development, as well as weak muscle tone in infancy. Next week is Cri Du Chat Awareness Week, and Jacob, along with his mom Hillary and dad Jason, join us do share what is happening as a part of this awareness campaign.
