In honor of Thomas Byrne

The Agape Fund was created in honor of Thomas Byrne. Diagnosed with Down syndrome, Thomas is a bright light for all, especially during his time at American Martyrs School and Cathedral Catholic High School. Thomas leads with his heart first and shares compassion with everyone he meets. Now, Thomas is pushing through a Down syndrome Regression Disorder at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. The Agape Fund members race and fundraise with Thomas in our hearts.

Here is a video briefly explaining The Agape Fund.

About the fund

In its current form, the Agape Fund allocates donated capital to support medical research in neurodegenerative disease, particularly Down syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD), and care delivery programs to the neurodivergent community.

The Agape Fund has applied to be recognized as a registered, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization in the state of California.
