Our community is at the heart of everything we do. From the moment a community member receives a TBD diagnosis to the ongoing management of this complex disease, Team Telomere is there to provide trusted information, a network of support, and a pathway toward hope. Our programs serve patients, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers – offering connection, advocacy, and a commitment to progress.
Your support sustains this work. It helps families access information and support, equips clinicians to better recognize and understand TBDs, and advances research into causes, effective treatments, and a path toward a cure.
Why Give?
Individuals and families impacted by TBDs need support today. They also need better diagnosis, better care, and more effective treatments.
Team Telomere works across these needs because each is essential to our community. When you give, you invest in the full scope of this work – from direct patient support and education to global advocacy and research. Together, we are building a future where every individual impacted by a TBD is seen, supported, and empowered.

About Team Telomere
The mission of Team Telomere is to empower individuals worldwide impacted by Telomere Biology Disorders (TBDs) with information and support services, to advance improved diagnosis through education and advocacy, and to accelerate the medical and scientific community’s research in finding causes, effective treatments, and a path towards a cure.
About Telomere Biology Disorders
Telomere Biology Disorders (TBDs) encompass a group of rare conditions characterized by abnormally short telomeres. TBDs can manifest in a diverse array of clinical symptoms, including bone marrow failure, pulmonary fibrosis, liver disease, cancer, and other complications.
The severity and presentation of these symptoms can vary significantly among individuals, often leading to potentially life-threatening complications. Timely and accurate diagnosis, and appropriate management, is essential for individuals affected by TBDs, ensuring the best possible outcomes and quality of life.
