WE ARE THE KENNEDY LADD FOUNDATION.
And we're here to end the suffering caused by MPS1.

So, let us be clear—when we say we won’t stop until children and families affected by MPS1 have the treatments and support they deserve, we mean it. We’re in this for the long haul, for every family navigating this rare disease.

You may already know about the hope we bring to families, the community we've built, and the urgency behind our work. You’ve seen us fight for awareness, advocate for research, and bring real solutions to families right now.

We work harder than ever every day. We don’t just dream of a world without MPS1—we’re building the roadmap to get there.

But this Giving Tuesday, we need you.

We’re looking for 100 people to join us as monthly donors—100 individuals who believe, like we do, that no child should suffer the effects of MPS1, that every family deserves hope, and that together, we can make a lasting impact.

Your commitment helps us move closer to a cure. It funds research, supports families, and drives change for those affected by MPS1. It means that you’re standing with us every month in this fight, bringing hope and strength to families who need it most.

Because in the face of this disease, giving up is not an option. Not for Kennedy, not for every child with MPS1, and not for us.

MPS1 Hurler Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by the body’s inability to break down specific sugar molecules, leading to buildup in organs and tissues. It causes severe physical and neurological symptoms, affecting a child’s ability to grow and develop properly. The impact is devastating, and without proper treatment, the disease progresses rapidly.

Be one of the 100. Help us eradicate MPS1.

Stand with us. Make hope a reality.

With determination and gratitude,

The Kennedy Ladd Foundation and all kids suffering from MPS1
