Our Heroes
We are working towards a day in which each patient receives an early diagnosis, has access to state-of-the-art care, and lives a life free of Krabbe disease. Help us celebrate all of the Krabbe disease Heroes and join the fight to #curekrabbe!

What is Krabbe Disease?
Krabbe disease (pronounced krab A), is a rare genetic disorder, also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy. Krabbe disease is described as a severe neurological condition that results from the loss of the protective covering (myelin sheath) surrounding nerve cells. This protective sheath is essential to insulate the nerves and ensure the rapid transmission of nerve signals throughout the body.
