C'est enfin là : le tout premier événement mondial de course/marche amusant et virtuel pour soutenir la recherche sur le syndrome de Shwachman-Diamond (SDS) !
Avec cette campagne de collecte de fonds, nous collectons des fonds pour accélérer le développement d'une thérapie et d'un remède contre le syndrome de Shwachman-Diamond, un trouble génétique rare de prédisposition au cancer qui affecte des milliers d'enfants et d'adultes dans le monde entier.
La mission de la Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Alliance est d'accélérer le développement d'une thérapie et d'un remède contre le SDS - en particulier pour éliminer le risque de leucémie mortelle dans le SDS - dans un délai qui compte pour nos enfants et des milliers de patients atteints de SDS dans le monde. Notre objectif est la recherche et le développement : nous collectons des fonds pour la recherche la plus avancée, construisons des collaborations à l'échelle mondiale et investissons dans des outils et des infrastructures de recherche essentiels, dès maintenant.
Un million de pas est certainement trop pour une seule personne. Mais ensemble, les étapes s'additionnent. On peut y arriver !
