With your support and involvement – we can make the XLH voice even louder!
The Power of Community:
XLH is a rare condition, so that means that we are a small community. However, we are also a diverse community with many years of collective exerience.
Could you use your experience to help others that are at a different point in their journey? Please consider joining the Connect conversations or becoming a buddy.
