Angels for Action

Angels for Action is a non-profit foundation dedicated to finding a cure for X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), a rare and devastating neurodegenerative disorder. Founded by families affected by the disease, the organization focuses on funding high-impact medical research, including gene therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A core component of their mission is the "Stop ALD" initiative, which advocates for universal newborn screening to ensure early diagnosis and intervention. The foundation collaborates with leading academic institutions and biotechnology companies to accelerate the translation of laboratory discoveries into clinical treatments. By providing both financial support for research and resources for patient families, Angels for Action plays a critical role in the ALD therapeutic landscape.
