Overview
The Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals impacted by LGS through advancing research, awareness, education, and family support. Our vision is to end the suffering and devastation caused by LGS.
LGS is a severe epilepsy syndrome that develops in young children. Nobody is born with LGS, it develops over time. Worldwide, approximately 1 million children and adults have LGS.
There is no cure for LGS. We must change this!
In our efforts to advance research to find cures, we:
- Accept applications for research grants year-round through our Cure LGS 365 Research Grants Program
- Bring together hundreds of researchers and family members every other year for a multi-day Meeting of the Minds conference focused on finding LGS disease-modifying therapies
- Organize an LGS Research Roundtable at the AES annual meeting every year to hear updates from our grant recipients and research collaborations
The quickest way to a cure for a rare disease such as LGS is through global collaboration. We hope you’ll join us to drive scientific breakthroughs!
