A world where patients are free from the pain and challenges of porphyria.
"I was diagnosed at the age of 6 with EPP after my parents noticed that every time I was outside I was experiencing anguishing discomfort. I never fully comprehended my diagnosis until I was able to connect with others. With the help of the UPA, I want to be able to help others live more comfortably with EPP and support the vision of a world where patients are free from the pain and challenges of porphyria. "
