Thank you from the bottom of our heart. We are so grateful you were born, because without you we would not have know what my son Christopher age 4was dealing with in terms of health. I love the fact that I do have some answers about our son's syndrome. It does not define him, but we know it does give us more places to go for support and information. I am so proud to have met you at the Noonan conference in August 2007. You are a wonderful person to talk to and listen to. You have been a blessing to countless people.

With appreciation, Karrie and Chris Kapp mom to Christopher age 4 with Noonan Syndrome

Dear Dr. Noonan,

I have Noonan's Syndrome, my youngest daughter has Noonan's Syndrome, and we believe that my mother had it as well. I want to thank you personally for identifying the cluster of symptoms that make up the syndrome, for helping us understand ourselves, and for your tireless advocacy of individuals with the syndrome that bears your name. Because of your contributions, we can get the care we need, and perhaps my grandchildren will be spared serious medical complications because of the research that you began.

Thank you and congratulations on your well-deserved lifetime achievement award.
