YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN US!

Though Alport syndrome is rare, there is a thriving community, and we invite you to join us. ASF has a network of patient volunteers with whom we can pair you for one-to-one sharing of information. We can connect you with a patient/family who has faced similar life experiences to remind you that you are not alone!

IF YOU FEEL ANXIOUS OR ISOLATED – WE’VE GOT YOU

ASF facilitates a monitored Facebook Support Group page with almost 3,500 participating Alport patients/family members posting questions, ideas, information–and sharing their experiences. There is a lot of learning and support in action. Additionally, in April 2022, we created a new page of resources just for parents and caregivers of pediatric patients.

INTERACT WITH OTHER PATIENTS AND FAMILIES!

ASF organizes an annual 2-day Alport Connect Meeting that includes time for learning from experts, connecting with other patients, social time, and separate programming designed specifically for teens and for children to learn about Alport syndrome in age appropriate and empowering ways.
