PCD Foundation

The PCD Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, employing 5 to 9 individuals. The PCD Foundation focuses on promoting research, raising public awareness, and providing information and support services for those affected by primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a genetic disorder impacting the cilia lining various bodily systems. They aim to aid individuals with PCD and their caregivers in navigating the daily challenges of the disease, which currently lacks a cure and has limited treatment options. The foundation addresses the critical issues surrounding PCD, including a lack of awareness leading to delayed diagnoses, limited access to specialized medical care and support, and insufficient funding for research. By working to raise awareness, improve access to resources, and advocate for increased research investment, the PCD Foundation strives to make a significant impact on the lives of individuals living with PCD.
