    A Night to Remember

    On August 28, 2026, our community came together at The Stutz for an unforgettable evening of hope, generosity, and purpose. Thanks to you, Fueling Hope raised critical funds for LCHAD research and reminded families they are not alone.

    Rare does not mean ignored — and nights like this prove it.

    Fueling What’s Next

    Every dollar raised at Fueling Hope goes directly toward accelerating research that could change life with LCHAD. Right now, that means supporting three breakthroughs:

    Gene therapy

    Work aimed at correcting the underlying genetic cause of LCHAD, not just managing its symptoms.

    An at-home CK checker

    Giving families a way to monitor muscle breakdown in real time, at home, instead of waiting for a hospital visit.

    A pill form of Dojolvi (triheptanoin)

    Turning a demanding daily treatment into something far easier for families to manage.

    This is research led by Dr. Jerry Vockley at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh — and it’s almost entirely funded by nights like Fueling Hope. Because of everyone who showed up, that work moves forward.
