INDIANAPOLIS - TelAve -- Last month, the Grand Hall at Historic Union Station in downtown Indianapolis was transformed with western glamor and heartfelt purpose as the INAD Warriors hosted their 3rd Annual INAD Warriors Gala — Boots, Bolos & Bling. The event drew a spirited crowd united in support of families affected by Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD), an ultra-rare, life-shortening genetic disorder.

The memorable evening was made even more special by the presence of Warner Kays, the courageous young warrior who inspires the organization's mission, alongside his devoted family.  Their story beautifully featured in A Day In the Life With INAD-A Day With Warner.



Guests dazzled in their finest cowboy boots and rhinestones while enjoying a captivating performance by Gary West & band, paying tribute to the legendary Johnny Cash with their "For the Love of Cash" show. Other highlights of the evening were silent and live auctions, featuring unique experiences and exclusive items including vacation packages generously donated by local businesses and supporters.

ABOUT INAD
Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy (INAD) is an ultra-rare (affects an estimated 1 in 1 million to 2 million children) inherited neurodegenerative disorder. It destroys axons, the part of the neuron (nerve cell) that carries messages from the brain to other parts of the body through the buildup of fatty substances (lipids) on the nerves. In the beginning a child with INAD will appear to be developing normally.  But around the ages of 6 months to 3 years developmental milestones will begin to slow down and regress. Some of the first signs and symptoms may be changes in a child's vision, loss of motor skills, and developmental regression.
