Prior to officially becoming the Liv-A-Little Foundation, the support from family, friends and local community was overwhelming. A  charity golf tournament hosted by the Saugeen Shores Winterhawks to raise awareness and funds to support the cause was the main catalyst.

 

Since then the Foundation has partnered by with the Cystinosis Research Foundation based in Irvine, California, which is the world's leading foundation dedicated to funding cystinosis research.
