Need inspiration? These are a few of the campaigns that we will never forget

Andreas Melitsanopoulos

Raised $2,345

“When I was diagnosed with MOGAD, I got a lot of the answers I needed from SRNA. I really appreciated the group’s aim to fundraise for research and support for those that are affected by illnesses most people don’t typically hear about. I felt it necessary to join the cause and spread awareness to help those going through what I’ve gone through and beyond that.”

Alyssa Charman

Raised $5,880

“I cannot speak highly enough about this organization. When I was initially diagnosed, they made me feel less alone, despite the fact that very little was understood about the disease. Being diagnosed with a rare disorder has given me a whole new level of perspective. I am more grateful for simple things in life. It has also taught me the importance of advocacy, research, and teamwork. ”

Roderick Corpuz

Raised $2,315

“Erin’s condition of Transverse Myelitis was unexpected and disrupted her life. We’re still learning about it as she recovers, but we’re thankful for the SRNA to rely on, which has been our main resource for support and information. My goal is to raise awareness about these rare neuroimmune disorders while providing support to the individuals and their families that have endured through these issues.”

Sandy Foukarakis

Raised $250

“On Saturday, August 1, 2020 I will be doing the Jersey Girl Triathlon – a race I enjoyed before the onset of GBS/TM. I will make adaptions – for the swim I will use a swim noodle in case my muscles spasm, I’ll ride a tricycle instead of using my racing bike, and I might walk instead of run. But I will be doing something I love. Partly because I can but more importantly, for those that can’t do these activities that many of us take for granted. I know I sure did!”

Thomas Silewicz in honor of Madi

Raised $435

“There are still many who are fighting TM. I know the pain and stock these families are feeling. Please join me and make a donation to Siegel Rare Neuroimmune Association (SRNA) to help fight TM and other rare disorders.”

Casidy Baltrusaitis

Raised $500

“And picking up this cause and embracing this new family I never wanted but has welcomed me with open arms is becoming a huge passion. With such a rare neuroimmune disease and so little information out there, the SRNA has been a God-send organization to support my journey. And giving back in as many ways possible is something I plan to do until we have all the answers we need to solve these debilitating diseases.”
