Mission Statement
The mission of the Remi Savioz Glut1 Foundation (RSG1) is to fund research, awareness and education of Glucose Transporters and Glucose Metabolism which affect the treatment of cancers, Alzheimer's, Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome (Glut1 DS), epilepsy, ALS, heart disease and diabetes.
The RSG1 Foundation will provide assistance and support to its broad patient community by providing educational tools for students and school districts that teach children to make a positive impact and teach adults about rare diseases through our “Kids Helping Kids” and “Learning in the Lunchroom Programs.”
RSG1 will also provide patient assistance programs for children in the Pittsburgh, PA community and other regions with our “Scales for Patients Program.” RSG1 will continue to develop and fund programs in Pittsburgh, PA for children with rare brain diseases and children that suffer from epilepsy that are non-responsive to traditional drug therapy.
The RSG1 will provide funding for the RSG1 Brain Fund at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh to better serve patients and the medical community at large. The Foundation will continue to work towards its mission until no child remains without a treatment, cure, proper diagnosis or whose lives are improved and enriched by our efforts.
