May 2nd is NKH Awareness Day - we're asking instead of your daily flat white, please swap your coffee today for a donation towards NKH Research. No donation is too small.

Your funds WILL Make a difference. In the last year:

- There has been progress in understanding how NKH works (in that it’s not *just* high glycine that causes issues, but also all the metabolic pathways that need molecules from the broken glycine system).

- There has been progress in narrowing down which currently approved FDA drugs might work as a chaperone for NKH.

- There have been signs that gene replacement therapy can be successful in mice (this is a CURE)

- There has been research into replicating NKH into an algorithm for diagnostic use, which has the potential to help so many families.

Every, single donation is enabling real research. You are paying for real research that is underfunded, that has the potential to improve children’s lives dramatically.   

So please donate today. Please go out and tell someone about NKH. Tell them about Leo, Mikaere or Joe or the baby you know with NKH. The stakes are small, and every single donation helps. Every single donation is funding research that will change lives.

Happy NKH Awareness Day. Thank you for being in our corner. We love you.
