About KrabbeConnect
Founders, Stacy Pike-Langenfeld and Anne Rugari, formed KrabbeConnect, a 501 (c)(3) in 2017, to bridge the gap between Krabbe disease science and patient knowledge.
The idea for KrabbeConnect originated from the 2015 Family Centered-Krabbe Translational Research Network meeting (FC-KTRN), a collaborative meeting between researchers and families to aid in solving the uncertainties of Krabbe disease. Through KrabbeConnect, the foundation provides a platform to amplify the voice of patients, aiding researchers and drug developers in accelerating research for better treatments for Krabbe disease.

Take a look at Jasper’s inspiring story. Thanks to #newbornscreening, his life was saved after being diagnosed with Krabbe disease.
