PICTURED ON THE COVER: Hudson (MPS II) and Poppy (MPS VII) Roman IN RECENT YEARS there has been a staggering increase of nonprofit communities addressing public needs not overseen by government entities. The larger philanthropic community, around the world, continues to improve efforts in health and education systems. The work, at times, can seem magnanimous. But new methods and models for complex issues are crucial for addressing evolving science, identifying the unmet needs of patient communities and providing organization sustainability.

Members of our board of directors and team traveled to the WORLD SYDNEE JENSEN (MPS I) AND ALLISON RESTEMAYER (MPS I) Symposium™ (We Organize Research Lysosomal Diseases) in San Diego in February. With record attendance, MPS and ML science encompassed a significant portion of the program content. We are thrilled to see this level of research focus.

As detailed in the following pages, the Society funded a record $750,000 in MPS and ML research during 2017. We continue to recognize the uniqueness and diversity of rare diseases, and we foster an international grants funding program. We need researchers who are dedicated to the discovery of treatments and cures, GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE continues to play a very important role in the National MPS Society’s effective guidance of our organization. Through oversight from the board of directors, this committee helps ensure we continue to properly serve our membership and fulfill our mission.

FAMILIES ARE THE LINCHPIN OF THE MPS AND ML COMMUNITY, and the National MPS Society continues to work to assist families in every way possible. Whether it’s financial assistance during a hard time, a special treat for an affected family member or to help make education dreams come true, we support families across the nation. In 2017, two additional committees were formed (Remembrance and Sibling Resources) to address the unmet needs of our membership.

Our family support initiatives include financial grants for our familyassistance program (providing medical durable goods denied by insurance), medical travel assistance program, scholarships to attend the annual family conference, continuing education scholarships, extraordinary experiences for individuals with MPS or ML, regional social gatherings, and MPS journey assistance for specific needs of an MPS patient.

In 2017, we invested more than $120,000 in the following family support initiatives: Family Assistance Program Continuing Education Scholarship (CED) • Approved 13 applications totaling $17,559. • Awarded 30 $1,000 full-time scholarships and • Allocated funds for dentures, evacuation chairs, one $500 part-time scholarship. glasses, hearing aids, therapeutic tricycle, • Introduced the Jeff Bardsley Scholarship and awarded wheelchairs, wheelchair ramps and wheelchair one $5,000 scholarship to an individual with MPS. modifications. • Implemented a lifetime cap on the CED program of $5,000, (not including the Jeff Bardsley Medical Travel Assistance Program Scholarship award). • Approved 16 applications totaling $7,070. • Approved increased travel eligibility to $700 Extraordinary Experience Program per applicant. • Awarded three extraordinary experience applications, including a summer camp.

My life has been greatly impacted because of having MPS II. I have gained an appreciation for 3 modern medicine and for the impact it has on everyday life. As a recipient of the National MPS Society’s Jeff Bardsley Continuing Education Scholarship, I am able to pursue my goal of higher education at the university level. I want to continue my education in the engineering sciences field and make a difference for those in need. My career goal is to work in a lab or for a company in the medical field producing new medicine and engineering new technology to shape a better world.

NICHOLAS DI TOMMASO, MPS II LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE

ADVOCACY IS THE BEST WAY for the MPS and ML community to share rare disease stories with lawmakers and policy influencers who can help make a difference on a federal level.

Federal policies can increase life-saving medical research and access to care for MPS patients. The Legislative Committee focuses on a number of goals throughout the year, including regular calls to action on rare disease legislation, disseminating carefully crafted appropriations language to spread our message to new members, collaborating with the rare disease community as a whole, conducting advocacy training webinars, and growing and fostering relationships with key decision makers.

In 2017, the Legislative Committee: • Facilitated 31 MPS and ML advocates meeting with • Drafted sign-on letters for ending the FDA/NIH hiring 43 legislators over two days to advocate for the OPEN freeze, FDA User Fee Agreements Coalition, RACE Act, Affordable Care Act and increased NIH funding for Children Act, request for Lifespan Respite and the for MPS diseases.

4 EDUCATION & PUBLICITY COMMITTEE

THE NATIONAL MPS SOCIETY CONNECTS AND ENGAGES with the MPS and ML community through education and publicity efforts. Whether via social media campaigns, MPS Awareness Day activities, education fact sheets or promotional materials, we are always looking for new ways to reach our target audiences.

With our communications director, the team has expanded our reach even further through enhanced social media, email marketing, and digital and print publications. Our social media channels, with focus on increased member and donor engagement, have been well received. The National MPS Society’s website, www.mpssociety.org, was redesigned in 2017 with a fresh, new appearance. Our website provides clear pathways for members, researchers, physicians and the public to access a multitude of resources.

Raising awareness for MPS and educating communities nationwide is very important. When Thomas Jefferson Middle School, asked me to come share MPS Day to honor one of our families, there was only one answer—yes. These young philanthropists raised funds and awareness throughout New Jersey and spent the afternoon learning about MPS. I’m so proud of our upcoming generation. They have embraced a difficult disease that has impacted one of our families three times over. Their efforts created real change.

THE ADULT RESOURCE COMMITTEE (ARC) is comprised of adults with MPS or ML. Because of successful therapies and trials, some patients with these disorders are living longer, higher quality lives. ARC has been created to address and fulfill the unique needs of adult patients living with MPS or ML.

The goals of ARC are to increase resources and involvement of adult patients within and outside of the National MPS Society. Their platform provides increased engagement opportunities with membership, legislators, scientists and the general public. In addition, ARC creates key networking opportunities that are essential to these deserving individuals.

6 PATHWAYS COMMITTEE

THE NATIONAL MPS SOCIETY’S LONG-TERM VISION has been to provide direct services to families in need. It has been our hope to be forward thinking and provide skilled services, something beyond a phone call, that would transcend the MPS journey for newly diagnosed families. In 2017, this program, Pathways, became a reality with support from BioMarin and the board of directors.

Pathways is designed to provide education and support to families and individuals with MPS and ML. Upon diagnosis, Pathways directly connects members with services in their community and integrates members into the Society for support. The program includes in-home visits with families, something never achieved before, and provides a comprehensive, compassionate and more meaningful line of support. This program provides continued navigation and resources to ensure a family can obtain the best quality of care for their loved one.

In 2017, Pathways: • Established a committee and hired its first family • Provided services to 50 families and visited 16 families support lead, with social work skills and education. in person.

7 RESEARCH GRANTS

RESEARCH REMAINS PARAMOUNT to the National MPS Society’s mission—to find cures for MPS and ML. Grant funding, research partners and collaboration ensure significant progress toward a better future for all affected individuals.

In 2017, the National MPS Society subsidized or invested historical levels of funding—the largest annual amount invested in our research program history. More than $750,000 was invested in total grant funding for 2017, which includes second-year funding for grants awarded in 2016, and $110,000 in partnership with The Ryan Foundation and University of Pennsylvania through the Million Dollar Bike Ride. Funding research is critical to find cures. The funding process begins with our receiving many letters of intent from researchers from around the world outlining their research proposals. After reviewing those letters, our Scientific Advisory Board review committee requests full grant proposals for evaluation and recommended funding.

The Society also committed $30,000, in partnership with the International Society for Mannosidosis and Related Diseases, to Dr. Steven Gray for ML research; $50,000 to the University of North Carolina, Dr. Mathew Hirsch, for MPS I corneal gene therapy research; $25,000 to the University of Minnesota for continued core imaging research with the National Institutes of Health; and reinvested funds into Abeona Therapeutics for MPS III studies.

MATTHEW EVANGELISTA (MPS VII) Obtaining a research grant from the Society permitted a collaborative study involving researchers in Italy, New Zealand and Australia. This research was significant because it ‘scaled up’ the evaluation of a potential therapy for MPS IIIA from mice to dogs.

Fundraising to me isn’t just raising money for a cause, but coming together as a group to help spread awareness. Our cause obviously is to spread awareness for MPS. This is important to us as our 4-year-old daughter was diagnosed with MPS IV last year. We have been so blessed with all the support and love we have received from family and friends. We are glad to be able to help others with our fundraiser, Jammin’ for Julia. We look forward to another amazing day at our next event. ANDREA FELTEN (host of Jammin’ for Julia)
