April is Sarcoidosis Awareness Month. Sarcoidosis is more common in Black women & disease severity is worse in Black patients compared to Whites. Although it most often affects the lungs, sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that has been shown to affect almost any organ. As a result, sarcoidosis patients may end up needing an organ transplant.

Come Walk With Us! On May 4th, A3Access Advisors will be joining the Moving Day Walk in San Francisco to show our support for the Parkinson’s Foundation and those patients and caregivers impacted by Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s is very personal to me. Twenty-five years ago, my father passed after a two-decade battle with this horrible disease. It’s severely debilitating with no known cause, cure, or prevention. Impacting nearly one million Americans and 10 million people worldwide, Parkinson’s is second only to Alzheimer’s as the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease. While there is great science focused on treating and hopefully one day curing Parkinson’s, we are not there yet. We must do more to accelerate our efforts to identify treatment alternatives. The Parkinson’s Foundation is committed to making the lives better for those at risk and suffering from Parkinson’s by advancing research, improving access to care, and funding community programs. Their efforts on behalf of Parkinson’s families deserve our support! I’m hoping you will join us in making a difference. If you would like to join our team, or show your support, you can learn more here https://lnkd.in/ghP2QGA7.  

🌟 Let’s raise awareness for Rare Disease Day! Every year, on the last day of February, the world comes together to shed light on the struggles and triumphs of those living with rare diseases. It's a day to highlight voices that often go unheard, to stand in solidarity with individuals and families facing extraordinary challenges, and to ignite hope for a brighter future. Rare diseases affect millions worldwide, yet they are often overlooked due to their rarity. This day is our opportunity to change that narrative, to educate ourselves and others, and to advocate for better resources, treatments, and research. Together, we can make a difference. Whether it's sharing stories, donating to organizations dedicated to rare disease research, or simply wearing or sharing to show your support, every action counts. Let's paint the world in the vibrant colors of awareness, compassion, and unity. Join us on Rare Disease Day and let's make a difference💙 #RareDiseaseDay #ShowYourRare #CareAboutRare

🦓💥Today marks #RareDiseaseDay! Join us in amplifying #RareVoices that contribute to the uniqueness of the Rare Disease Community. In a special Rare Disease Day column, Alithea Athans spotlights various Rare Disease Day campaigns, avenues for active participation, and significant advocacy groups. "Rare Disease Day is celebrated every year on the last day of February. Because 2024 is a Leap Year, it is celebrated on February 29. February was chosen as Rare Disease Month because it has the rarest calendar dates to honor those who live with a rare disease. There are many ways to get involved. You can donate directly to one of the few sites that are dedicated to our cause. You can also give the gift of time at EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases or by joining #RareDiseaseWeek on Capital Hill. This week allows advocates to be heard by members of the US Congress, where we can also learn about proposed policies that will affect the rare disease community. We can, in turn, discuss policy changes that we would like to see implemented." ➡️Click to read more: https://brnw.ch/21wHrte National Organization for Rare Disorders Rare Disease Day

CMT's relentless physical challenges and emotional toll have affected numerous generations within families. CMTRF has already made significant strides towards developing treatments for CMT. It’s our singular focus because developing treatments for CMT means a family’s newest branches in the tree can finally shed the hues of CMT and grow brighter and stronger, unmarked by the pain of this disease. ENDGAME—a $10 million campaign—funds critically urgent research to overcome key remaining barriers and to pave the way for clinical trials, treatments and cures for CMT1A. Every dollar counts, and one generous donor is matching gifts up to $100,000. Together, let's raise the last $2 million needed to accelerate treatments and bring relief to those in need. Together, we can stop this disease in its tracks. Learn more at cmtrf.org/endgame.

I am participating in the Slide It Forward: Slide Strides for ALS Challenge and I would love for you to join me!   Our goal is to stride (walk / run / hike) a collective 5,000 miles during the month of May, ALS Awareness Month, in honor of those who have been impacted by the disease. For every mile logged, Slide will donate $5 to ALS Association & ALS TDI. Any miles you log will contribute to reaching our goal. To join me in the Slide Strides for ALS Challenge, complete this form: https://wkf.ms/3QmxMiT   Why 5,000 miles? According to the CDC, over 5,000 Americans are diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) each year. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive disease in which the person with ALS slowly loses muscle control, including their ability to walk, talk, swallow, and eventually breathe. Our participation in ALS Awareness Month will bring resources to find treatments, a cure, and ways to empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest.   #ALSAwarenessMonth #SlideitForward #SlideStridesChallenge

💥PDA Week is kicking off with Rich Horgan, CEO and Founder of Cure Rare Disease Check out this short clip and full interview with Tita Tavares 👇

The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) hosted its first MG walk in Boston since the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a pleasure to volunteer, organize, and be part of it and meet the amazing people in this community. This walk was a great opportunity to connect with MG patients, caregivers, and advocates. For those who don’t know, Myasthenia Gravis is a rare autoimmune disease where autoantibodies attack different receptors in the skeletal neuromuscular junction. In short, Myasthenia Gravis patients experience rapid fatigue of muscles that affects their everyday lives. We also surpassed our $15,000 fundraising goal. These fundraisers are critical for advancing research and treatments for Myasthenia Gravis. As Kevin O’Connor, a Yale principal investigator focused on Myasthenia Gravis and rare disease research, said: “The work that MGFA does is important not only for patients but also for researchers, as it provides us with the funds needed to understand the disease and better target it for treatment.” #AWorldWithoutMG #MGStrong #Research #PatientAdvocacy
