Support our work in Hurler syndrome (MPS I-H)
Hurler syndrome, also known as severe MPS I (MPS I-H), is exceptionally rare, yet its effect on children and families can be life changing. By backing our mission, you help expand knowledge, improve data collection, strengthen research links and provide families with clearer guidance through diagnosis, treatment and lifelong care.
Every gift of time, expertise or funding helps us deliver reliable information, reinforce registries and advocate for improved services and future therapeutic progress.
This page welcomes families, friends, professionals, organisations and anyone who wants to contribute to progress in Hurler syndrome.
