Get Connected
We know that the MLD Journey is a long and tedious one … but we also know that, like any trip, it’s always better if shared with others. We can connect you with families from all parts of the globe to learn, be supported, ask questions, share experiences … and most importantly, to know that you are not alone.
MLD Patient Powered Registery
Your experiences help clinicians, researchers, and policy makers to better understand our disease and to target therapies, research, policy, and supportive resources to be what we need, not what someome in some fancy top floor office thinks we need. ONLY YOU can share your journey – PLEASE CONTRIBUTE your experiences and opinions. You have explicit control over YOUR data – yes you own it – and how it is used. And whenever you answer a question you get to see how your experience compares to the rest of the MLD community so you both give a little and get a little when you participate.
