Our goal is to help find a cure for this disease by raising monies for GSD1 related research. The Children's Fund for GSD Research is run entirely by volunteers.
As little as 25 years ago, a child born with an inherited disease such as GSD1 had very little chance of survival beyond one or two years. Tremendous strides have been made since then, but great challenges still exist. Additional funding for research can and will make a real difference.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about GSD1, the Fund and our efforts.
