Westyns Light

we are a nonprofit with emphasis on bringing awareness for CAH Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia .... Westyn King Engel was born June 1, 2015, after a routine newborn screening he was diagnosed with a RARE genetic disease called CAH or Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency OR Classical CAH Salt Wasting. This is an adrenal deficiency of cortisol as well as a sodium component making it not only extremely rare, but life threatening. It falls into an endocrine disease and there is no known cure. There is so little information on this disease for communities, families, and patients as well as emergency medical responders. WESTYN’S LIGHT was created to keep his light shining through rare disease education for communities, emergency medical responders, CAH awareness, medical device developement, and research for a cure.
