text: Elisa was and is still such an inspiring person. Without her bright light in this world so many more children would never even stand a chance with the sanfilippo diagnosis. Having been blessed to get to know the Linton family and watch Elisa grow up and inspire SO MANY people has been an honour for me. Every March/April , for over a decade, I have been humbled to be a part of the annual Sanfilippo Children's Research Foundation Gala and every year that we hosted one it got bigger and better and we raised more and more money for research. This year was especially hard since there was no gala, and there was no Elisa. I know she is still here, shining on all of us whose lives she touched and I am sure that her family feels her warmth in the darkest days. Elisa and her family are truly the most wonderful, caring, giving, and dedicated people I have ever been blessed to meet and my life would not be what it is now without their inspiration and love. Love & support to the Linton Family <3
