Mission Statement

      Reye’s Syndrome strikes swiftly and is a deadly disease. It can attack any child or adult without much warning. All body organs are affected, but most seriously the liver and brain. Although the cause and cure remain a mystery, research has established a link between Reye’s Syndrome and the use of aspirin and other salicylate-containing medication. The National Reye’s Syndrome Foundation was incorporated in 1974 and became the first citizen group to generate a concerted, organized lay movement to eradicate Reye’s Syndrome. The Foundation has three main areas of concern:

          •  Awareness – to aid in early detection and to educate the public and
             medical communities about the risk factor involved with the use of
             aspirin and other salicylates.

          •  Service – to give families experiencing the trauma of Reye’s Syndrome
              emotional support and guidance.

          •  Research – to support investigation into the cause, management,
             treatment, and prevention of the disease, as well as study the impact
             the disease has on survivors.
