Our Mission: The Mathew Forbes Romer Foundation’s Mission is to promote and lead critical awareness, testing, counseling, and research initiatives that hold promise for the prevention and eventual cure of fatal children’s genetic diseases of the brain.
MFRF has provided leadership and raised approximately $3 million of funding for projects spanning its mission and vision across three pillars: Research of Treatments and Cures, Education and Genetic Screening, and care through Nursing School Educational programs.
MFRF has celebrated wonderful progress in gene therapy patient trials, education, and genetic testing for many affected children and families with fatal genetic diseases of the brain. Still, there is so much more to do, including earlier detection and expanding treatment availability.
So on January 11th 2026 we will run and walk to raise community awareness as well as much needed funds for this project.
Come join us and be a part of the cure!
