Awareness around the world: Highlighting Netherlands!

Jolein is 7 years old and was diagnosed with LDS at 2.5 years old. They are grateful to the LDSF for medical information and guidelines. Although their family faces a lot of challenges, they are thankful to Take Heart and raise awareness of Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

During our June LDS Awareness month, for every dog harness so ld, the Verhoeven family will donate 1 euro to LDSF. Netherland customers will also receive extra discount and free shipping!

Thanks Verhoeven family for your awesome support!
