FDNY DEPUTY CHIEF MARTIN LINDQUIST, FROM DIVISION 14, FUNDRAISER TO BENEFIT THE SANFILIPPO SYNDROME

October 28, 2025 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Daughters of Deputy Chief Martin Lindquist and his family are in need of community support as his daughters Margaret and Bridget battle against Sanfilippo Syndrome. Margaret and Bridget have smiles that light up a room. Margaret loves reality TV and Bridget loves listening to music. They both love spending time with their family. In 2022, Margaret and Bridget were diagnosed with Sanfilippo Syndrome, a neurodegenerative disease that is like Alzheimer’s in children. They will lose all the skills they have gained in their lives, suffer seizures and movement disorders, and eventually pass away.

Currently, there is no FDA-approved treatment or cure for Sanfilippo Syndrome. But there is hope. Scientists are conducting more research than ever. Your support enables that life-saving research to continue until a cure is discovered. Sanfilippo Syndrome has caused Margaret and Bridget to have seizures. It has also created challenges with their learning and memory.

If you would like to donate to the cause and help fund research to bring us closer to a cure for Sanfilippo Syndrome visit https://give.curesanfilippofoundation.org/campaign/margaret-and-bridget-lindquist-or-fighting-to-cure-sanfilippo/c737790
