Perthes families: you can help decide what researchers study next.

Researchers at Macquarie University in Australia are running an international study to identify which Perthes research questions matter most — and they want to hear from the people who live it.

They're looking for: 🦸 People aged 6 and older who have or have had Perthes 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents and caregivers 🩺 Health professionals 🔬 Perthes researchers

Participation is entirely online. Children 6–13 take part in two online interviews. Ages 14 and older complete three short surveys.

Full details and the participation link 👉 https://www.pertheskids.org/research

An independent Macquarie University research study, shared by PKF so our global community can be heard.

💙 FINAL PUSH 💙
We're in the final stretch of our fundraiser, and I'm reaching out one last time to ask for your support.
Every donation, share, comment, and word of encouragement has meant so much to our family. Thanks to this incredible community, we've come so far—but we're still working toward our goal.
If you've been thinking about donating, now is the time. Even a small contribution helps bring us closer. And if you're unable to give, sharing this post can make a huge difference.
Together, we're helping make Camp Perthes USA 2026 a reality—a place where kids living with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease can connect, build confidence, create lifelong friendships, and simply enjoy being kids who understand each other's journey.
Thank you for believing in this mission and for supporting these amazing children. Let's finish strong!
