Sanfilippo Is a Rare Disease, But There Is Greater Awareness Than Ever.
The compassion of people is truly amazing. In five years, more than $8 million has been donated to the Foundation.
All of it coming from individuals who heard the stories of Sanfilippo families and made the selfless choice to help our kids have a chance at life. More than 40,000 strangers have stepped up to help find a cure for Sanfilippo Syndrome.
We work to keep elevating awareness by constantly telling the story. For one Sanfilippo family’s story is the reality for all of us.
