Type Specific Resources

One of the founding principles of the ULF is to support those who are affected by leukodystrophy. While the United Leukodystrophy Foundation supports all types of leukodystrophy, some families may benefit from leukodystrophy specific information. We believe finding a cure is the answer, working together is the first step.

These foundations are not directly affiliated with the United Leukodystrophy Foundation.
