“The Foundation allows patients to have a community. I want to make sure everyone is included, and EFGC is that bridge.”

“After her week at camp Clara came home and was able to tell friends about her diagnosis. She started to not be ashamed about carrying her rescue medicine. Her time at camp helped Clara own who she is and to not be ashamed.”
