Blue Jays Legend Jose Bautista Sends Out Heartfelt Post
This week, Blue Jays legend Jose Bautista sent out a heartfelt post to Instagram.
He wrote: “I wanted to share Zander Marshall’s story and the incredible work happening to help children like him. Zander is living with SURF1 Leigh syndrome, a rare and devastating mitochondrial disease. A groundbreaking gene therapy is now moving into one of the final stages before human clinical trials, with the hope of beginning a trial in 2027. There’s a lot of hope behind this work, and the potential to change the future for children and families affected by this disease. I’m honoured to help shine a light on Zander and the One Shot to Live campaign. If you’d like to learn more about his story or support the campaign, you can find more information and donate at the link in my bio. ❤️🙏”
