The Lysosomal Disease family is large, with over 50 unique disorders, such as Tay-Sachs, Gaucher, Niemann-Pick, Batten, Fabry, Krabbe and Pompe. There are no cures and few therapies to decrease the severity of symptoms of these disorders. Lysosomal Disease is the leading cause of mental retardation. It causes muscular dystrophy, blindness, brain, heart, and liver disease. 

The Hide & Seek Foundation would like to spread awareness of all lysosomal disorders with the goal of finding cures. They are currently focussing on Niemann Pick Type C disease (NPC) and are working with SOAR, Support of Accelerated Research for Niemann-Pick Type C.

Below are some videos made by the Hide & Seek Boutique on YouTube to raise awareness for this family of diseases. Alec Baldwin Is featured in the third one.
