A Big Thank You

A BIG thanks to the Genetic Disease Foundation for the generous grant for our newborn screening initiative. It is donors like you that help our communities most vulnerable, newborns, be screened for the rare genetic disorder Fabry Disease. This donation will help move our mission forward significantly. We aim to have newborn screening panels also include Fabry Disease in several states (Massachussettes, South Carolina, Georgia, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Minnesota) in the next year and this money will help us get even closer to that goal!



Check out our website (https://fabry.org/testing-for-tots/) and contact us by email (testingfortots@gmail.com) if you would like to learn how to be a sponsor!
