EMPOWERING FAMILIES
THROUGH RESEARCH
FOR A CURE
Bone marrow failure... Predisposition to fatal blood disorders... Potential for a Bone Marrow Transplant...
These are all phrases used to describe the diagnosis of Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome. Usually diagnosed early in life, these are words no parent wants to hear. With a median life-expectancy of 35-years, these families need hope.
When the President of the SDS Research Fund's daughter received this rare diagnosis, she quickly learned that the funding for research on SDS is just that: RARE.
Our Mission
The mission of SDS Research Fund is to empower families through research for a cure. In research, there is hope.
