For the eighth time in its history, the LSA brought together families, friends, and professionals in a celebration of friendship and hope.

Approximately 188 people attended, having come from 25 different states and four different countries. Thirty-seven boys and young men with Lowe syndrome were present, and their bubbly enthusiasm and affectionate hugs added just the right touch for a very special weekend.
