As the former VP of Clinical Operations for a small biotech, I was introduced to the NUCDF in affiliation with my company's UCD research program. Cindy LeMons, as well as several members of the UCD Consortium provided critical input and expert advice to aid in designing feasible studies for this rare and very special patient population. Earlier this year, I stepped down from my executive position in order to devote more time to my personal endeavors including helping non-profits with high impact potential, like the NUCDF. When I attended my first NUCDF Family Conference in June 2008, I not only learned all the ways the NUCDF has supported UCD patients and their families through research, awareness and education, but I had the rare experience of meeting and listening to the testimonies of dozens of UCD patients, their families and the physicians and nurses who treat them. In my 25 yrs of working in clinical research, I had never witnessed such a collaborative and meaningful exchange of data and information with the sole purpose of finding a cure for UCD. That meeting as well as those before and after were made possible by the NUCDF, as well as the testimonies of how the long, loving arms of this special organization has and continues to reach out to the countless children and adults throughout the country who are affected by UCD. I am privileged and honored to be an active donor and volunteer for the NUCDF.
