"Our names are John and Laurian Scott, and we are Thisbe and Noah’s parents. We will never get over the loss of our daughter and our son, and their suffering is something we will equally never be able to reconcile. The first step toward finding a cure is finding the causes of motor neuron degeneration. This research is already underway, including research for the gene causing Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere.

Once the BVVL gene is isolated, The Olive Branch Fund will initiate the next great leap: hiring a researcher for the cure. It is the mission of The Olive Branch Fund: A Thisbe and Noah Scott Legacy to promote research, awareness, and support for families of all pediatric motor neuron diseases, including Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere. As Thisbe and Noah’s parents, we can think of no better way to honor their lives than to assure that a motor neuron disease will never again take the life or health of another child."
