Ripples4Gaucher

To recognize National Gaucher Month 2018, AVROBIO held the Ripples4Gaucher contest open to those in the community. We invited participants to submit ripples, or stories of how they inspire, motivate, or provide service to others in the Gaucher community, and donated $5,000 to the National Gaucher Foundation. We received several fantastic submissions showing what those living with Gaucher do to raise awareness, drive change, or impact the community.

Here are the Ripples4Gaucher we received:
