Mowat-Wilson Syndrome

Chef Adam Greenberg of Washington, D.C., beat three other chefs to win $10,000 during the "Grand Holiday" episode of Chopped last Tuesday, December 5. A three-time Chopped winner, Greenberg donated his winnings to the Mowat-Wilson Syndrome (MWS) Foundation of which his sister Katie Fineberg is a director (Katie's daughter Zoe has the disorder). MWS is a genetic condition with several characteristics, including distinctive facial features, moderate or severe intellectual disability, delayed development of motor skills, and Hirschsprung disease (an intestinal disorder). Other issues associated with this disorder are speech problems, seizures, and heart defects. People with MWS in general have a smiling, open-mouthed expression on their faces along with cheerful personalities. For more information, go to https://mowat-wilson.org/.
