This International Angelman Day.
The goal is to raise awareness of
Angelman syndrome worldwide, mobilize people to action, encourage fundraising, promote research and educational resources and to remember those individuals with AS who are no longer with us.
It is a campaign that everyone – parents, family, friends, and even those that do not know an individual with Angelman syndrome – can get involved in.
The Angelman community has some extraordinary events lined up for you to participate in – together, we will make this amazing.
