Hope for the Future!
April 15, 2020 will be our 7th Annual International Pompe Day!
The IPA believes that raising awareness of Pompe Disease is key, and this year’s theme has been selected as “Hope for the Future.”
It is an exciting time for the Pompe Community worldwide with new studies and treatments on the horizon, and Hope is what drives the patient community, and what inspires the medicalscientific community, and industry, to keep working.
The International Pompe Association is calling on all members of the global Pompe community to express their Hope for the Future.
In order to do so, the IPA has created a blog that individuals can post to.
The IPA’s hope with the Blog this year is to encourage the entire Pompe Community to participate and share their individual “Hope for the Future.” What do we, as patients hope for? What do our families hope for? What do our doctors hope for? What do the scientists working on Pompe hope for? What does industry hope for?
How You can Participate:
- Take a photo (of you or loved one’s) wearing, or displaying, something GREEN (the color of Hope).
- Send an email to ipd2020@worldpompe.org
- the subject of your email will be the title of your post;
- the body of the email will be the post itself, where you can express your idea of what your Hope for the Future is;
- to include your photo in your post, you can simply attach the image to your email (total size max. 10 MB).
- Please include your name, country and age in the email, so we can show the world how strong our Community is.
