In 2014 The Cure & Action for Tay-Sachs (CATS) Foundation was a winner of the Genzyme Patient Advocacy Leadership (PAL) Awards which has enabled the charity to develop and build the eAcademy for Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff Disease app.
The app has been designed for parents and caregivers of individuals with Tay-Sachs or Sandhoff disease and includes information on symptom management, practical advice for a carer and information on the diseases. Each section contains interviews with families who have been a carer for a child affected by Tay-Sachs or Sandhoff disease.
