Open Doors for Lowe Syndrome: 2nd Annual Walk & Roll

Join us as we walk, roll, and unite to unlock better treatments, crucial support, and a brighter future for every individual living with Lowe syndrome.

Every child and adult living with Lowe syndrome faces doors that feel firmly shut—barriers to targeted therapies, specialized care, and life-changing research. This November and December, we are putting the power directly into your hands to open them.

Our 2nd Annual Walk & Roll, hosted by the Lowe Syndrome Association (LSA), is a worldwide, peer-to-peer event driven by families, friends, and community advocates like you. Between November 24 and December 2 (the day after Giving Tuesday), you choose the date, the location, and the scale. Whether it’s a casual neighborhood stroll with your family, a school track event, or a simple gathering at a local park, every movement raises vital funds to break down barriers for our community.

This Year’s Goal is $80,000

Together, we are going to raise $80,000 to fund medical research, family support networks, and advocacy for our community. Every walk, roll, and gift moves us closer to that goal.

Why We Walk & Roll

Lowe syndrome is a rare genetic condition impacting the eyes, brain, and kidneys. Because it is rare, our community must lead the charge to ensure no family navigates this diagnosis alone. By hosting an event or donating, the funds you raise go directly toward:

Medical Research

Accelerating scientific breakthroughs toward effective treatments and better outcomes for our community. Learn more about our research vision.

Family Support Networks

Connecting caregivers with expert resources, practical tools, and a global network of peers. Connect with our community.

Advocacy & Awareness

Educating healthcare professionals and expanding access to specialized care.

How to Get Involved

1. Make It Your Own

There’s no single right way to Walk & Roll — just pick what fits your family between Nov. 24 and Dec. 2, and make it as big or as intimate as you like:

  • Walk with family & friends – keep it small and intimate or spread the word to everyone you know!
  • Fundraise only – create a fundraising page and invite your network to support your efforts, no walk required.
  • Host an event and invite others – a local park, school, neighborhood trail, or even your driveway!

Need an easy button? If you don’t have the bandwidth to create your own fundraising page, please share the main campaign page with your network and share a little bit about why Lowe syndrome matters to you.

2. Build Your Fundraising Page

Create your own fundraiser to benefit this year’s Walk & Roll here. In a few clicks, you can customize your page, set a personal fundraising goal, and invite your network to donate.

3. Walk, Roll & Share

Gather your crew, move together, and share your photos online using #OpenDoorsForLowe and tag @lowesyndromeassoc through December 2nd!
