If you have ever wondered about the work of The Stennis Foundation, this video is a must see: http://www.youtube.com/v/6lHrup2gKtM

The Stennis Foundation is committed to raising awareness of the Leukodystrophies, and to raising funds for Leukodystrophies research. The fundraisers are "for the families" -- to bring Leukodystrophies families together with other Leukodystrophies families. The funds raised are used to fund desperately needed research, and cover administrative expenses. There are some interesting things happening in the world of research, in Mexico. Although these latest developments are not "FDA approved" they have given hope to many MLD families.
