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.

The Foundation's Top Objectives Are:

• AWARENESS - to aid in early detection and educate the public and medical communities about the risk involved with using aspirin and other salicylates.
• SERVICE - to provide emotional support and guidance to families experiencing the trauma of Reye's Syndrome.
• RESEARCH - to support investigation into the disease's cause, management, treatment and prevention, as well as study its impact on survivors.

Your donations and memberships allow us to continue spreading Awareness about Reye's Syndrome to new mom's, new medical professionals, caregivers, schools, daycare centers, churches, and immigrants, and to a global population who can now access this website. You make a difference, a life and death difference. -- Thank You.
