My 22q family website

Hello my name is Jayce,

Welcome to #My22q website. My online home for sharing a little bit about my life and how 22q impacts it. We thought the best way for you to learn more about it, was to share my story. I was 15 months old when my Mom and Dad learned that I was born with 22q. Surprise is an understatement, more like overwhelming; and for those first 15 months of my life, we didn't even know that I had a medical condition, or even a genetics disorder. We would then learn that 22q is very common, and 2nd most common behind down syndrome;

yet so many people have never heard of it.

Annual Virtual Walk/Run with The 22q Family Foundation

Annual Walk with Jayce

We wanted to share a little bit about Jayce and his genetic disorder, so why not invite some of our closest friends and family to join us for an intimate walk through a nice park.


We can share in friendship and in learning more about 22q and how it can disrupt Jayce's life and many others who are living and thriving with 22q.

22q is the second most common genetic disorder after down syndrome, yet it's less known and harder to diagnose. 22q has a rate of occurrence in 1 in 2,000 births and is found in 1 of 68 children with a heart defect.

In honor of 22q, We Wear Red.

From time-to-time My22qFamily.org will help us in updating our 22q Support Shirts. Our shirts are designed with MY FAMILY in mind, along with this very specific website that you are visiting. This allows others to learn more about me and how 22q affects our family. This website is free to our family and My22qFamily.org is not asking us to pay to support our site. So we ask that if you wish to support our family and to help My22qFamily.org help as many other 22q Families, please consider buying a 22q shirt.
