The Mikaere Foundation supports children and families who live with Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia (NKH), a rare and terminal neurometabolic disorder. We provide patient information to the newly diagnosed, build connections within the patient community and (most importantly) we fund research into effective treatments. When one in three children born with NKH are unlikely to see their first birthday (and the other two are likely to be profoundly disabled, with an average age expectancy of 4-8 years) the Mikaere Foundation is very much needed. We believe every NKH child deserves a future, and are working towards providing one.
