Irish actor Colin Farrell has launched a foundation for people with intellectual disabilities and their families in honour of his son James who has Angelman syndrome.
Farrell, best known for roles in films including Banshees of Inisherin and In Bruges, timed the launch of his foundation with an interview with People magazine about James.
"But I can't discern a particular answer from him as to whether he's comfortable with all this or not, so I have to make a call based on knowing James's spirit and what kind of young man he is and the goodness that he has in his heart." "The goal of our programs and initiatives is to make significant strides in improving the lives of those living with intellectual disability," it says.It's a rare genetic condition that impacts the functioning of nerves in the brain.
"Researchers are working hard to deliver therapeutics to improve and ultimately alleviate all symptoms of AS and there is a shared belief in the research community that this is possible," its website says.
