We fund & support research to improve the lives of Gaucher patients
Story
I was officially diagnosed with Gauchers in 2001 at the age of 35, when I started enzyme replacement treatment. Gauchers has taken my spleen off me and I am about to undergo my third hip replacement. There are approximately 300 known Gauchers sufferers in the uk and I now wish to do something to bring awareness to as many people as possible as well as helping to raise funds.
The Gauchers Association was formed in 1991 and is the only registered UK charity providing support to individuals and families affected by Gaucher disease, acting as the centre point for the Gaucher community working alongside medical professionals, scientists and pharmaceutical industry.
