ABOUT SISTERS HOPE FOUNDATION
The Mission of Sisters Hope Foundation is to support and empower families impacted by Adult-Onset Leukoencephalopathy with Axonal Spheroids and Pigmented Glia (ALSP) by:
* educating the public to increase awareness around this rare disease

Currently, there is no cure or FDA approved treatment for this rapidly progressive terminal brain illness.
