Across the country, families and supporters are coming together through One Small Step, a simple, community-led way to support Prader-Willi syndrome research.
What started as small local walks has grown into a nationwide movement, raising over $7.5 million to fuel real progress.
Treatments are happening. Momentum is building. And there’s still more work to do.
One Small Step events look different in every community, shaped by the families and supporters behind them.
