Children with Sanfilippo Syndrome are missing an essential enzyme that breaks down a complex body sugar called heparan sulfate. This sugar slowly builds in the bones, the brain and other organs, stopping normal development and causing hyperactivity, sleep disorders, loss of speech, mental retardation, dementia, and finally death by the mid teens. There is no cure or treatment yet. Sanfilippo Syndrome is one of seven Mucopolysaccharide (MPS) disorders. There are four different enzyme deficiencies that cause Sanfilippo, which are described as types A, B, C & D. There is very little difference between ther four types, t hough there have been a few very mild cases of the B form reported where the children have remained relatively healthy into early adult life.

The Rainbow Society has been making dreams come true for Alberta children living with chronic or life-threatening illness since 1986. We were the first group of its kind in Canada. We differ from other wish granting organizations in that our mandate allows us to grant wishes to children who are living with chronic illness, as well as those with life-threatening illness. Wishes: · Must be in the best interest of the child. This is determined through consultation with the family and the child’s physician. · Include the immediate family, whenever possible. · Are granted quietly and without publicity. · Are not solicited. We work strictly on a referral basis. · Wish referrals can be made by the families themselves, a friend, relative, teacher or by someone from within the medical community. · Wish referrals cannot be made anonymously since we will not proceed without the prior knowledge and approval of the family involved.
