Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome Type 1

Boy With Rare Disease Becomes Honorary Marine

Eight-year-old Wyatt Gillette became an honorary marine on July 30. The boy received the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, which are symbols to represent when one officially becomes a marine. Gillette, who has spent most of his young life suffering with Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome Type 1, fulfilled his wish at Camp Pendleton before passing away the next day. [1]
