The Sanfilippo Project

Welcome to a support and self-empowerment community focused on the families of children with Sanfilippo Syndrome. Whether you are seeking information, support or a connection, we can all learn from each other’s experiences. Individually we are isolated families fighting a terrible and rare disease, but together we are a force of nature.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
~ MARGARET MEAD ~
