Review for Barth Syndrome Foundation Inc, Larchmont, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with the Barth Syndrome Foundation since its first being in 2000 in Baltimore, MD. I immediately made a connection with the families that I met during this meeting. At first I volunteered doing whatever it was I could do to help raise awareness and funds. I then was invited to join the Board where I served for one term. I now am an employee of the Foundation, and truly believe that I have found my calling. I have had two sons with Barth syndrome (one whom did not have the opportunity of being diagnosed and passed away in 1989. My third son, Derek, now 19, is doing well, and followed at Boston Childrens. I have found a family around the world who TRULY UNDERSTANDS what it means to have a child with this disease.
