Accelerating research to find a cure for children with Sanfilippo Syndrome

Give children with Sanfilippo a chance at life. Let parents watch their children grow up.
A cure can’t wait.

Every parent dreams about their child’s future and watching it unfold.

Sanfilippo Syndrome
takes that all away.

Sanfilippo Syndrome is a rare, terminal, neurodegenerative disease. It causes children to lose all the skills they’ve gained, to suffer seizures and dementia, to experience pain and suffering, and then die. All before their parents eyes.
