Our Purpose

It is our desire for the Tyrosinemia Society, Incorporated (TS, Inc.) to serve as an international fundraising organization with the purpose of helping those effected by Tyrosinemia and related disorders. Tyrosinemia is a rare genetic disorder that does not yet have a robust campaign platform from which to raise funds on an international level, and that is the gap the TS, Inc. would like to fulfill.
The purpose of the TS, Inc. will be to increase awareness, improve patient outcomes, and support research funding to cure Tyrosinemia. Through education and public service, TS, Inc. will better educate the general community and caregivers of clients with Tyrosinemia. The society will create training resources that will improve client outcomes living with Tyrosinemia. Eventually, it is hoped that adequate resources will be obtained to plan social events for families living with Tyrosinemia. Additionally, in the future the Annual Tyrosinemia Conference could be hosted providing families and key stakeholders an opportunity to network with experts regarding the care and management of Tyrosinemia.
