On May 15th, International MPS Day, our network will launch the second annual “Chase the Signs” campaign, along with each country or regions’ respective MPS day campaigns and activities. The “Chase the Signs” campaign is an industry-sponsored campaign in partnership with the IMPSN, and that aims to project the following message:

¨As a collective of MPS pharmaceutical industry partners, we recognize the often long and difficult journey from the onset of symptoms, to diagnosis, and to treatment. Our patients have complex stories but are all heroes that navigate the maze to reach a proper diagnosis. These stories demonstrate that each of us has a unique role to play, and it is only together that we will make a difference in rare diseases – especially MPS.”

As we approach another MPS Day, we have the opportunity to band together to create awareness as an International Network. For this to be possible we are asking for all network members to share photos, videos, stories and/or artwork of your organization, families, caregivers, physicians and community tagging the IMPSN social media and the hashtag #MPSDAY so we can see and share it!

Let’s work together to make the “Chase the Signs” campaign global and inclusive on International MPS Awareness Day.
