Additional Information

Most Americans are not aware that a child is born every 30 minute with a lysosomal storage disease. MPS (mucopolysaccharidosis) is one of these rare diseases. Children are diagnosed each day and suffer physical pain before they lose their battle. The National MPS Society has been working for 35 years to support these children and their families from coast to coast. We provide hope and support for affected individuals and their families through research, advocacy and awareness of these devastating diseases. On October 17, 2009, come walk and run in the beautiful foothills of La Verne and Walk for A Cure for MPS and related diseases. Every single dollar raised is directed to research. Help us in the fight against rare diseases. Come make a difference, because children have a right to life. For more information please visit www.mpsrun.com and make a donation online or contact the Society at 919.806.0101 for details on how you can participate in La Verne and help find a cure for all the children suffering from MPS and related diseases
