A few resources to help you on your journey with Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome

1. Join the Beckwith-Wiedemann Support group on Facebook.

There are 1500 families from all over the world that have joined the group. It has been the biggest blessing to have the support of others who know exactly how I feel and what I am going through. I still don't know how we would have made it to where we are without this collection of members who I now consider my Facebook family! You can ask questions, post prayer requests, or simply vent what is on your mind because we have all been there and we will give you some words of encouragement and a shoulder to lean on.
