ALPORT CONNECT 2020 MEETING

Due to COVID-19, the 2020 Alport Connect Meeting was held virtually for the first time via the ASF Community app.

Some examples of what attendees said about the 2020 Virtual Alport Connect Meeting:

“It’s been a weird year but being able to connect virtually to others with Alport syndrome was amazing!”

“Clear, concise information that balanced both the medical aspect of Alport syndrome as well as the emotional aspect.”

“I learned so much! I really enjoyed hearing everyone’s personal experiences. I feel more informed than ever thanks to the doctors’ presentations.”

“I really feel that we took away new and valuable information from each session.”

“I’ve been following the Foundation since the beginning, the event honestly made me feel proud and grateful, it was so well done.”

BENEFITS OF ALPORT CONNECT WEEKENDS

  • Learning more about disease management, available resources, and how to self-advocate.
  • Socializing and building bonds with families you will reach to for support over time.

“I would recommend attending the Alport Connect meeting because it’s good to know people who are going through the same thing you are. It was a lot of fun and easy to take in information.”Teen Program Participant, Cleveland 2019
