Reye's Syndrome, a deadly disease, strikes swiftly and can attack any child, teen, or adult without warning. All body organs are affected, with the liver and brain suffering most seriously. While the cause and cure remain unknown, research has established a link between Reye's Syndrome and the use of aspirin and other salicylate containing medications, over the counter products, and topical use products. In 1974, the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation, a health advocacy organization, was incorporated as a 501(c)3 charity, whose mission is to eradicate the incidence of Reye's Syndrome.

There were many who served... many who made a difference... many who lost children then turned around and saved other children.

The selfless giving, the grass roots hands-across-the Country Awareness Campaigns, from Moms and Dads, Grandparents, Senators, Celebrities, and Presidents... there was a coming-together... an unrivaled dedication and a commitment that moved a nation and saved children.

We compiled this awe-inspiring History into an attractive book, a book that takes us back through the journey, year by year; a journey that portrays the courage, fortitude, and accomplishments of a group of individuals whose commitments were far bigger than themselves, whose voices rang out together as one voice, a group of ordinary people who fought and triumphed so that others would be safe...

The Children we lost are Honored...The Stories are there.... Pictures worth a thousand words.... The Acknowledgments are there... As is our gratitude for the opportunity to have experienced having been a part of something that truly made a difference in so many lives....
