Welcome....

The Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl Society is the only registered charity supporting people with Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, their families and carers. The aims of the Society, according to its constitution, are: to preserve and protect the health and promote the welfare of persons suffering from LMBBS, and to advance the education of the medical and educational professionals and the general public on the subject of LMBBS.

For information regarding the clinical features of LMBBS, click here for our information booklets.

All members of the Management Committee are volunteers. They have children/grandchildren with LMBBS or have the syndrome themselves, and they willingly give up their time to provide support, raise funds and generally do as much as they can to keep the Society moving forwards.

Paralympic Dream

Congratulations to Shane Ryan from Limerick in Southern Ireland, for being part of the first Irish crew to qualify a boat for the London Paralympics in rowing.  Shane says, “It is a dream come true to be rowing.  It’s very exciting, especially as it is in London and we at the Paralympics are gearing it as the ‘HOME GAMES’. We are currently training very hard and are very motivated to reach the goal that we have set ourselves.”
