Welcome

Pompe disease is a rare and progressive genetic disorder, which results from the abnormal buildup of a sugar molecule called glycogen within the cells of various tissues, especially muscles. Symptoms of excess glycogen are varied and can include muscle weakness, motor difficulties, poor reflexes, spine curvature, and heart muscle damage.

Our Mission

Here at Pompe Alliance, we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2018, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Public Services Organization upon: support, empowerment, and progress. Our mission is "To provide supportive services, education and information to patients, caregivers, medical professionals and community stakeholders."
