Purpose
To fund groundbreaking studies and support families affected by MPS.
The Isaac Foundation’s mission is to fund research projects that aim to find a cure for Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS), a rare, debilitating, and devastating disease. It also provides support for families of individuals suffering from MPS and advocates on their behalf to ensure government funding for expensive, life-sustaining treatments are covered by the health care system.
Since 2007, it has provided over $1 million in research grants for projects around the world that seek to cure and improve current treatments for MPS diseases. It will continue to work tirelessly to raise awareness of this disease and provide support for families dealing with this devastating diagnosis until a cure is found.
