How can I follow the progress of Drake and Vivian's gene therapy?

The easiest place to follow along is the Saving Drake and Vivian GoFundMe. Each week, Tarah updates the campaign with the latest total, including gifts received by check, Venmo, and PayPal, so the amount still needed goes down as all donations come in. That's why the GoFundMe "goal" reflects what's left to raise, not the full $1.6 million.

Those updates have marked real milestones: manufacturing contracts signed in December 2025, $1 million reached in early October 2026, and 84% funded by early November. They also include prayer requests and news about how Drake and Vivian are doing.

You can also sign up for the foundation's email updates and follow the Drake Rayden Foundation on Facebook. Some research details are covered by confidentiality agreements, so updates focus on what partners allow the family to share.
