Wolfram Syndrome Support and Information Day in the UK
The Snow Foundation was represented at the 3rd Annual Wolfram Syndrome Support and Information Day in the UK in November. The conference had numerous speakers ranging from specialized service, therapeutics, developing treatments, urology, psychology and neurology, to name a few. Dr. Fumihiko Urano gave a presentation on patient based therapeutics and Stephanie Snow Gebel spoke about The Snow Foundation to over 100 Wolfram patients and their families. It was an honor to represent the United States and our fight against Wolfram syndrome and diabetes. It was also refreshing to know that there are individuals who are fighting just as hard to better the lives of those who are living with this insidious disease. The Snow Foundation is looking into starting a similar workshop here in the States, although we are much larger than the UK, it will take a great deal of funding to implement such a program.
