Do More Than Think About It

Join us in supporting patients, families and caregivers by making a difference. We know how busy life gets at times, but we also know how important it is to join together in order to make a real difference.

What’s Important

Advocacy doesn’t just focuses on grass roots efforts, political rallying, and contacting your elected government officials. It’s also about expressing your concerns, desires, & passion with others hoping to make a difference. Just like you.

All About Advocacy

Not 100% sure what advocacy is all about? Don’t worry, we’re here to help you through it. Given the many changes going on within our government, it’s critical to play an active role in patients’ rights.

Fundraising

Raising funds for GBS & CIDP comes in many shapes & sizes. Learn about some of the creative ways our volunteers & liaisons have helped out in big ways!

Volunteer

We won’t bore you by pleading for your help. We’d rather entice you with the details of how you can help us help our patients & their families. Once you start, it will be hard to stop. Trust us, that’s how the Foundation started.

Events

The coming year is filled with opportunities to meet our community members through exciting and engaging events, such as the coming GBS/CIDP 5K & Miracle Mile in Charlotte, NC.

Research

As one of our 4 primary focuses, research plays a critical role in not only exploring ways to more successfully treat these disorders, but also potentially finding a cure. We’ll never give up hope.

    Expert diagnosis & management of inflammatory neuropathies is critical to our patients. This is what our medical advisory board members had in mind when setting up the new Centers of Excellence program. A year later, we continue to add healthcare facilities providing exactly that.
