A Fort Collins family is trying to raise millions to test gene therapy that could help kids trapped in bodies they can’t move

Everly Green, whose family lives in Fort Collins, has a rare mutation in a gene called FRRS1L, pronounced “frizzle,” which affects how cells in her brain communicate.

Colton Green, 9, reads a story to his sister Everly, 8, and brother Ryle, 4, at their home in Fort Collins on Dec. 18, 2025. The Green family is trying to raise $4 million to develop a treatment for Everly, who has an ultra-rare genetic mutation. The treatment has shown promise in mice genetically engineered with the same mutation, and the family hopes it could help her regain some movement. (Photo by RJ Sangosti/The Denver Post)
