Discovering To Diagnose
About Us
This non-profit helps research life-threatening diseases that affect people around the world. We work to find cures that will save many lives. Also, if a family can’t afford treatment, we give them the treatment they need, without them spending a penny.
We wish we were a real 501c3 nonprofit, but we're not.
Mission Statement
Discovering to Diagnose's goal is to help research life-threatening diseases, which will find cures that can save many lives.
History (Our team)
Our program was created in 1952, by our wonderful founder Marley Stein. She started this program because of a family member dying of Battens Disease. After their death, she was determined to help spread awareness about life-threatening diseases. To make sure no one else has to feel the pain of losing some-one to diseases.
