As a foundation, we are incredibly blessed to have a wonderful community of support embracing our mission and cause. With each and every thoughtful donation, your dollars are put to work funding a variety of important projects. Ranging from therapies for a cure to improving quality of daily life, our goal is to diversify and attack the problem from multiple angles, while being guided by the brightest scientific minds in the rare disease space.
