As a board member, I've been impressed by how much BSF does with its limited resources and the sense of family and community that BSF fosters. The mission is very clear to everyone - we will never stop working to find a cure for Barth Syndrome. In the meantime, we will provide support for families, educate the medical community about Barth and fund critical research that leads to improved treatments. BSF has only been in existance for less than two decades but it has made a world of difference in the lives of those with Barth and their families.

Without the BSF my son would probably not be as healthy as he currently is. We have learned from experts that we would have never met before the foundation existed. It is the most sharing, giving, insightful, and caring group I have ever belonged to. It has given me hope that my granddaughters, who could be carriers of BTH, will never have to go through what my sons and family have. We are a fighting a disease that is very rare but we will win!

I'm a Board Member, but also have a son with Barth syndrome. For many years we knew no one else who was affected with Barth syndrome. My family and I were completely alone. Now, we have families from all over the world in the Barth syndrome community. There really are no words to describe the impact BSF has had on our lives--in many ways. We now have an extended family who understand completely what it's like to live with a such a rare, serious and potentially life-threatening disorder. BSF is small, but proactive, and we never give up--we are working hard to find answers about this disorder by funding research, as well as providing family services, raising awareness, holding an amazing conference every two years that combines families, reserachers, and physicians, and more. We are very grateful to have BSF in our lives!
