Mission Statement
THE CURE TAY-SACHS FOUNDATION HAS BEEN CREATED TO FUND THE RESEARCH INITIATIVES THAT SHOW PROMISE TO TREAT AND ULTIMATELY CURE TAY-SACHS DISEASE (TSD). TSD IS HEREDITARY DISEASE PASSED ON WHEN TWO CARRIER PARENTS BOTH PASS THE TAY-SACHS GENE TO THEIR CHILD. TAY-SACHS HAS THREE FORMS - THE CLASSIC OR INFANTILE FORM, THE JUVENILE ONSET FORM AND THE LATE ON-SET FORM KNOWN AS LOTS. CHILDREN INFECTED WITH THE INFANTILE OR JUVENILE FORM CURRENTLY HAVE A 100% MORTAILITY RATE - NO CHILD HAS EVER SURVIVED THIS DISEASE. WE AIM TO CHANGE THAT.
