When a child is diagnosed with a painful disease like Perthes, the whole family hurts. When that pain is chronic, life can become overwhelming. When the diagnosis is rare, you may not know where to turn for support or information.

At Perthes.org we believe every child should have a healthy and pain free childhood; every parent should have the resources to help the healing process. Your donation keeps our educational tools free as well as provide benevolent assistance to Perthes families in need. As we grow together, we grow strong.

Perthes.org is proud to unite with Perthes Hero, Michele Rector and her inspiring journey to “Run 50 by 60 for Perthes.” To support Michele and her efforts, select Run 50 x 60 when donating. 100% of your tax deductible contribution will benefit Perthes research and the International Perthes Study Group! Follow Michele on Facebook and cheer her on: https://www.facebook.com/RunForPerthes/
