PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME ASSOCIATION (USA)

9th Annual Valentine Research Drive

9th Annual Valentine Research Drive

Happy Valentine’s Day and thank you for visiting the PWSA (USA) 9th Annual Valentine’s Day Research Campaign page. Please make a donation in the name of all sweethearts who have PWS. A tax-deductible contribution will fund research projects that will help eliminate the challenges of Prader-Willi syndrome and lead towards discovering a cure.

Prader-Willi syndrome is a host of developmental challenges affecting gross and motor skills, speech, cognition, and behavior and presents a myriad of medical issues including low muscle tone, respiratory issues, GI challenges, metabolic dysfunction, temperature instability, and irregular pain detection. An involuntary, uncontrollable hunger is a daily reality for those with PWS and may lead to life-threatening, morbid obesity. PWS is the most common known genetic reason for obesity and occurs in all races and ethnicities worldwide. Those with the syndrome may live a normal life expectancy if provided early intervention, proper medical care and strict environmental controls, but to date, there is no cure. For more information, please visit www.pwsausa.org.

Love transforms lives. Your love and support will improve the lives of those with PWS. Please find it in your heart to support this cause. It is fast, secure and easy to do.

Thank you!
