Wouldn’t it be amazing if PURA families got together to raise awareness in our communities and invite others to join us in our mission to support and drive research, as well as serve and empower families impacted by PURA Syndrome?
WE can do this, and you can help!

October 2024 marks 10 years since the first papers were published on PURA Syndrome. Prior to that some families had gone decades without a diagnosis. Since that time, our community has grown to over 650 strong and we’ve made great strides in research and supporting families. Help the PURA Syndrome Foundation continue our mission to support our PURA Perfect community by participating in the 2024 Together for PURA Fundraising Campaign.

We are committed to raising 250K to support our mission. To reach this goal we need every family, every extended family, every connection, every local business, every media outlet, every small business and every big corporation to be part of the vision and move this forward. Together we are stronger!

Together We Are Stronger!
