Parenting is challenging at the best of times but juggling childcare
while managing a rare disease brings additional heartache to Kelly,
who would love to be able to run alongside her three active children.

Committed to a healthy lifestyle, Jolene uses physical fitness
and positive thinking to manage her Alpha-1 and encourages
others to do the same.

Even through the heartbreak of family loss and adversity,
Cathy remains optimistic that there will be an increase in
early diagnosis and treatment options for Canadian Alphas.

Alpha-1 is a family affair. Syl illustrates that there is never just one Alpha in a family.
Having this rare disease does not define Syl.
He is an inspiring patriarch and an active Alpha!
