If you’re interested in fundraising for the GBS|CIDP Foundation, you most likely believe in our mission to support, educate, research, and advocate. DIY fundraisers, like the one you’re planning, help the foundation support patients around the world, connecting them to a global network of volunteers, health professionals, and researchers that will help their journeys with GBS/CIDP be a little easier. Money also helps educate. GBS and CIDP are rare diseases, meaning many healthcare professionals and care givers often don’t have much experience with them. Our foundation helps educate so that patients are receiving the best care possible. Through funds raised, we also support a program that provides grants to researchers around the world to better understand these diseases. These grants are helping groundbreaking research that will provide quicker diagnosis, new medication, and a better understanding of GBS and CIDP. Lastly, fundraising dollars go towards advocacy. We advocate on the federal, state, and grassroots levels to help benefit our patient and caregiver community.
