Kurt+Peter Foundation

Our Story

In 2009, the journey began when Kurt, then three years old, was diagnosed with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C (LGMD2C). This diagnosis was a turning point for his family, leading to the formation of the Kurt+Peter Foundation. The following year, Kurt's younger brother, Peter, was also diagnosed with the same condition. This foundation was established by their family and friends to drive research and funding towards promising treatments for LGMD2C, a disease that has been overlooked due to a lack of financial support.

Our Impact

The Kurt+Peter Foundation is committed to funding innovative research that aims to bring effective treatments to LGMD2C patients. By collaborating with leading research institutions and biotechnology companies, the foundation is focused on advancing programs like exon skipping and gene therapy.
