The Foundation has been acknowledged by the Voluntary Health Agency Community as being amoung the top in the field, and has been acclaimed as one of the few organizations where 100% of donations are used for the purpose for which they are collected. GBS is a world-wide disorder. There is a need for better education of the medical and lay communities about this disorder, as well as better treatments. Additionally, because of its probable auto-immune nature, increased knowledge of GBS may well lead to a better understanding of, and treatments for, other auto-immune disorders.

We call this the Miracle Mile because so many of us affected by GBS/CIDP thought we would never walk again, much less complete a mile! It is truly a miracle that these folks are walking - please join us in celebrating their success at the finish line!
