About RISE

RISE for LCHAD was created by parents navigating the realities of a rare diagnosis in a system where research funding and family support are limited by population size. What began as a personal need has grown into a broader commitment to ensuring that rarity does not determine access to progress.

Research Funding

We support innovative research initiatives aimed at improving quality of life, advancing treatment strategies, and working toward long-term solutions for individuals with LCHAD.

Financial Assistance

We provide financial assistance to help families manage medical and care-related expenses associated with living with a lifelong metabolic condition.

Awareness & Advocacy

We work to increase understanding of LCHAD to promote earlier diagnosis, stronger advocacy, and greater investment in research and support services.

Our Approach

RISE for LCHAD takes a focused, responsible approach to advancing research and providing financial assistance for families affected by this rare disorder. We prioritize initiatives with the greatest potential for measurable impact and are committed to transparent, thoughtful stewardship of donated funds.

Leadership and Governance

RISE for LCHAD is governed by a board of directors responsible for overseeing the organization’s mission, financial stewardship, and long-term strategy. The board is committed to ethical governance, transparency, and responsible use of donated funds.

Looking Ahead

RISE for LCHAD is in its early stages, with a clear focus on building a strong foundation for long-term impact. As the organization grows, we plan to expand research funding opportunities and develop sustainable financial assistance programs to better support families affected by LCHAD.

We remain committed to thoughtful growth, responsible stewardship, and partnerships that align with our mission, ensuring that progress continues, even as the organization evolves.
