We’ve been walking together throughout May to support the PKU community as part of #MoveYourPheet. It’s been an incredible way to connect as a team while raising awareness for those living with phenylketonuria (PKU), a lifelong rare condition that still lacks targeted treatments.

May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and PKU Awareness Month, a powerful reminder that managing PKU goes beyond diet. This month, we stand with the PKU community to raise awareness, offer support and advocate for care that sees the whole person!
