FD NOW welcomes forming partnerships with any group that is philosophically aligned.

In that spirit of collaboration, FD NOW teamed with the two other FD organizations that exclusively funded the Laboratory for Familial Dysautonomia Research at Fordham University. These two independent groups, The Eric Alterman Foundation for FD Cure, and Cure FD eventually merged with FD NOW.

“We all shared the same vision — discovering natural compounds that will make an immediate positive difference in the lives of our children — so it made sense for us to merge,” says Ann Slaw, President of FD NOW.

As this disease affects so few, our doors are always open to those funding immediate, affordable, effective, accessible, and safe treatments for FD.
