About The Foundation
Helping To Find A Cure
Raising Awareness and Funds to Provide Treatment and Support for Affected Families and to Fund Innovative Research Projects.
MPS VI is a rare, progressive, debilitating, and relentless disease caused by an enzyme deficiency. Our son Isaac was diagnosed with this disease in October of 2005, which prompted us to form our Foundation. The Isaac Foundation's goal is to raise money to support research into MPS VI and assist projects that aim to explore new treatments and possible cures. Many exciting community events are currently in the planning stages. Check out the events link for more info.
