Welcome!!

5 Year old Kyleigh Lydon has galactosemia, a genetic disorder involving the absence of an enzyme in the liver needed to metabolize lactose from foods containing dairy products. Currently there is no cure for galactosemia -- no chemical or drug that can take the place of the missing liver enzyme.

The only treatment is complete elimination of products containing lactose from one's diet. Even that may not be enough, since the body naturally produces galactose, which in Kyleigh's case, becomes stored in her cells and acts as a toxin.

This website has been created to promote awareness of galactosemia, as well as notify family, friends and those interested in this disease of upcoming fundraiser events. Be sure to check back often as this site has been recently created and will continue to grow.
