About Perthes Kids Foundation
Perthes Kids Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit, was established to raise global awareness and provide support to children and families dealing with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, a degenerative hip bone disorder (a rare form of osteonecrosis or avascular necrosis), that makes it painful to walk, run, and play like most kids.
We are here to advocate, educate, and provide opportunities for parents to connect and stay strong, adults to share and give back, and kids to just be kids, as they go through their perthes journey. You are not alone. We understand your story and are here to help, and welcome you to our global perthes family.
