As we listen to the blasts of the shofar, we
are stirred to recall both our individual
responsibilities as well as the impact with which
our actions have for the collective Klal.
At the National Gaucher Foundation, we
are reminded of our responsibility to raise
awareness that Type 1 Gaucher disease is
the most common Jewish genetic disease for
Ashkenazi Jews as well as the significant impact
fulfilling our mission has for the Klal. We are also
immensely grateful to HaKadosh Baruch Hu that
Type 1 Gaucher disease is treatable and to be
privileged to support so many.
From our families to yours,
we wish you a Shana Tova
Umetukah.
Gaucher Symptoms include:
Bone & Easy Enlarged Liver Nose
Joint Pain Bruising and/or Spleen Bleeds
If you suspect you or a loved one has Gaucher disease,
ask your doctor about testing for Gaucher disease by requesting a
simple blood test called a beta-glucosidase leukocyte (BGL) test.
