National Reye's Syndrome Foundation
|
Reye's Syndrome, a deadly disease, strikes swiftly and can attack any child 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.
In 1974, the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation was incorporated, becoming the first citizen group to generate a concerted, organized lay movement to eradicate Reye's Syndrome.

Incorporated on August 3, 1974, in Bryan, Ohio, the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation is the only citizen group generating a concerted, organized lay movement to eradicate Reye's Syndrome. Children, teenagers, and adults are dying of Reye's Syndrome.
The Foundation is committed to the health and well-being of those who are most at risk. The Foundation has made great gains toward our ultimate goal of eradicating Reye's Syndrome. Our public awareness programs have resulted in a decrease in the number of cases reported in recent years. It is hoped that research will bring us closer to our goal.

We Need You! - Be a Volunteer - Be Inspired!
We need to stand up and be heard! We need to join forces and let the pharmaceutical companies and retailers know that they need to help us protect our children, not harm them!
We need to provide awareness materials to the media, and to any organization that is formulating an influenza pandemic preparedness plan or holding an immunization clinic. We need to let them know that "Baby Aspirin" and "Children's Aspirin" are not acceptable terms. We need to spread the word and protect our children!
