Julianna’s Wish was formed to help families in Fairfield County, Ohio that have a member diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS).  PWS is a complex genetic disorder affecting appetite, growth, metabolism, cognitive function and behavior. It is typically characterized by low muscle tone, short stature, incomplete sexual development, cognitive disabilities, problem behaviors, and the hallmark characteristics – involuntary and uncontrollable chronic feelings of hunger and a slowed metabolism that can lead to excessive eating and life-threatening obesity. Those who have PWS need intervention and strict external controls, including padlocking access to food, to maintain normal weight and to help save their lives.
