Often your arrival here comes at a time of great personal trauma due to a recent diagnosis or encounter with MLD. We want you to know that you can count on us for support, information and to help you get connected with others who are also on the MLD journey.

Newly Diagnosed? We personally know that pain, panic, uncertainty, and urgency ... and we can help! Please call/text/email us ... we have met hundreds of families in person, regularly meet with the key MLD clinicians and researchers. We can inform, guide, and connect you as you plan care for your loved one.
WE C.A.R.E. ...
* Compassion
will take you to the MLD Family™ pages where you can connect with others.
"... we have a call in to our pediatrician and I know she will ask, what advice are you getting on the MLD Family™ Discussion List? I think that about says it all on how valuable this group is."
* Awareness is where you will find what is being done to increase knowledge of MLD and how you can help.
* Research updates the latest in efforts to treat and cure MLD.
* Education leads to MLD-101 where you will find a comprehensive, yet very readable, layman's overview of MLD.
