Morquio Syndrome Fundraiser
One of our former students, Simon H, is diagnosed with a very rare, progressive genetic disease called Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) Type 4A, called Morquio syndrome. The disease, an uncommon form of dwarfism, impacts skeletal growth and causes a progressive decline in the eyes, ears, and respiratory system. A fundraiser has been set up to help raise money for a Cure MPS IVA fund for Simon and others with Morquio. Working with the Isaac Foundation we know that every penny raised will go towards promising and innovative research to help find a cure and ensure Simon, and everyone living with Morquio, has a long and healthy life! Please learn more and consider donating here.
