TREND: The Online Community Making a Difference

Published: Nov. 14, 2023, 9 a.m.

When Maria Picone\u2019s daughter was diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), she turned to the internet for answers. \xa0

What she found was an online community of caregivers sharing their experiences with PWS, giving her comfort and direction with what to do about her daughter\u2019s rare disease. It also spurred her and her husband to create TREND Community, an online platform for caregivers of rare diseases to not only share their experiences, but also make positive contributions to scientific literature. \xa0
