Did you know that 1 in 10 people in the United States have a rare disease?
Global Foundation for Peroxisomal Disorders (GFPD) was founded to improve the life of every individual living with a peroxisome disorder through groundbreaking research and patient and family support. Peroxisomal biogenesis disorder-Zellweger spectrum disorders (PBD-ZSD) are rare, genetic disorders that are almost always terminal in childhood. Peroxisomal disorders impact almost every system in the body. There is currently no treatment or cure. The GFPD now connects over 400 families from around the world, so that no one has to face this disease alone.
Hues for Hope
Hues for HOPE will celebrate the beautiful children affected by a rare, terminal condition and raise funds to accelerate treatment options for peroxisomal disorders. Funds raised from Hues for Hope will help support medical research, connecting affected families through support groups and family meetups, international conferences, and equipment exchanges for families.
