There is no known cause as it is not in our families. Then we were told that the 10 year old would not get it in the same family, but she did. There has got to be something in the food supply, environmental causing this epidemic. There are many more young people in the schools being diagnosed every day. It is odd, but a majority of the diagnoses come in the month of October. Pray for these kids and support the cause.
