Connor's Kure for Krabbe fundraiser set for Saturday

COEUR d'ALENE — A fundraiser for research and support of families affected by Krabbe disease is set for 6 p.m. Saturday in the Shore Room of The Coeur d'Alene Resort.

Organizer Anjee Wavrick and her family lost their 3-year-old son, Connor, to Krabbe disease, a rare and aggressive genetic and neurological disorder, in February. The Wavrick family has since advocated for mandatory newborn screening for the disease in Idaho. 

The fundraiser is being held in partnership with KrabbeConnect, a nonprofit dedicated to improving patient care and finding a cure for Krabbe disease.
