Cure GSD
The Children's Fund for Glycogen Storage Disease Research is a public not-for-profit 501(c)(3) foundation that aims to make a difference in the lives of children and their families affected by GSD1.
As little as 40 years ago, a child born with GSD1 had very little chance of survival beyond one or two years. Today, thanks to increased awareness, medical advances and generous supporters, children are thriving and a cure is on the horizon.
Over $7.5 Million Funded
Since 2002, The Children's Fund for GSD Research has granted over $7.5 million, which has led to groundbreaking therapies and an improved quality of life for people with GSD1. To date, we have funded over 55 studies, helping scientists pursue new ideas and investigate probable approaches to improve treatment and uncover a cure.
100% Volunteer Based
Our ultimate goal is a to live in a world where GSD does not exist. The Children's Fund for GSD Research is leading the charge towards this reality. All fundraising and administration are done on a volunteer basis so that nearly 100% of all contributions can be used to support our mission. Join our cause!
