Local group plans to keep raising funds, awareness of rare disorder

-A A +A
By Johnathan Ryan

After a successful initial fundraiser earlier this year, the local residents working to increase awareness and funds to research Kleine-Levin Syndrome are gearing up for another drive.

KLS is a mysterious and rare sleeping disorder. Those afflicted may sleep 20 hours a day. There's no known cause or therapy. It tends to first strike in the preteen years, more often in boys than in girls, and tends to go away in the late 20s. The disorder is poorly understood and often misdiagnosed.
