Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Myasthenia Gravis Association. The support that the MGA provides to improve the lives of those with myasthenia gravis is important to me because they are able to offer their services 100% free of charge to anybody who needs them.
Myasthenia gravis is a rare autoimmune, neuromuscular disease which impacts 36,000-60,000 in the US. The most common symptoms are difficultly with breathing, swallowing, speech, double vision and muscle fatigue. There is currently no cure.
After much frustration, testing and anxiety, I was diagnosed with MG in March of this year. I’m determined to fight this, and provide education and awareness along the way of my OWN journey, as well as supporting others who are like me. MG is often called the “Snowflake” disease - as it affects everyone different…and so I’m proud to be considered a special snowflake!!
The MGA works to support the lives of those impacted by myasthenia gravis and their communities through support groups, clinics, 1-1 consultations, new patient packets, education and awareness events. Your support ensures that the MGA can continue to provide these tools to support patients along their journey with myasthenia gravis.
