Karla turned 50 and celebrated her birthday with a big party.  Her motto is to “enjoy life and to think in possibilities”, like her nephew Joris who has Tyrosinemia.

As you maybe know, there is little to no money available for research and development of new treatment and care possibilities. That is why Karla asked her guests to give a donation to the Foundation - these donations will help Tyrosinemia patients in the future by funding research and developing projects for better care. 
Instead of presents, the Foundation received EUR 1.098.
Thank you Karla!

When I moved to Mozambique in 2009 to work as a teacher at the Dutch School, I met Annelies. Her son Joris came into my class.

Joris has Tyrosinemia. I was shocked by the amount of daily medication he has to take and strict diet he has tofollow. Despite his metabolic disease, Joris is a funny, energetic and happy student. I enjoyed all my classes with him.

His mum became one of my best friends and in order to represent them and the foundation, I have run the Berlin marathon on September 29th.

It was 1 big party and I enjoyed the cheering people & bands. Thank you very much everyone who supported me and all Tyrosinemia patients!

Together we can make a difference!
