Seven-year-old Hannah Sames, front, with sisters Madison and Reagan, is the namesake for Hannah’s Hope Fund, a nonprofit organization seeking to cure her condition, giant axonal neuropathy (GAN).
SARANAC — Carrie Favaro is once again hoping for the support of the community in helping her niece and children just like her. Favaro serves as president of the Hannah’s Hope Fund, a nonprofit organization seeking a cure for giant axonal neuropathy, also known as GAN. The foundation, named in honor of Favaro’s niece, 7-year-old Hannah Sames of Rexford, has been raising money for their cause since 2005. Most recently, the foundation has been entered into a contest to be awarded up to $250,000 through the Chase Bank Community Giving Contest, sponsored by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. “We were ranked number three, but we’ve slipped to number five,” said Favaro, referring to the on-line contest found on Facebook.
