The MLD Family embodies the Compassion emphasis of MLD Foundation. This is where families and other people affected by MLD meet to share their ups, downs, and challenges. Be it discussion groups, Family Conferences, other Gatherings, or even the MLD Family Personal Pages, the MLD Family™ is where you can come for support, encouragement, information, and simply to find that you are not on this journey alone.

Discussion Groups ... Connect with one of our world-wide online discussion groups to meet and find support with other MLD affected families and those that care about them.

Family Conferences and Gatherings ... Family Conferences and Gatherings are where you can meet other families face-to-face, including their MLD affected children or spouse. At Family Conferences there are research and therapy updates from some of the world's premiere scientists and doctors. See information about our most recent and upcoming conferences here. We are currently planning our next conferences and more family gatherings. Use this link to learn more.
