At 81, Roger Elford never imagined how quickly his independence could change. After being diagnosed with CIDP, first thought to be Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), he faced the loss of movement in his legs and right arm and a long road to recovery.

After 255 days in rehabilitation, Roger is home and continuing to rebuild his strength. Today, he walks with a walker and a cane, with one big goal ahead: getting back behind the wheel and regaining his independence.

His story is a powerful reminder that progress isn`t always measured in leaps and bounds. Sometimes, it`s one step at a time.

A NYC Marathon moment worth celebrating!

This year, GBS warrior Michael Ring took on the New York City Marathon, showing incredible determination every step of the way!

And cheering him on was fellow CIDP patient, Amanda, who showed up to support Michael and celebrate his big day.

It`s moments like these that remind us of the power of community. Whether running 26.2 miles or showing up to cheer someone on, we`re stronger when we support one another.
