The Walk & Roll was created for friends, families, and volunteers to participate in a fun and proactive way to raise awareness, show support, make memories, and build a local network of communities around the world. All money raised from Walk & Roll events goes towards research grants that the Foundation will award to leading experts in the field of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), and related syndromes such as Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN), and variants. Invite your friends, family, neighbors, and community to join our commitment to support those touched by GBS, CIDP, or MMN and variants.
Funds raised through our walk program will help to support our research initiatives including:
Diagnosis – Developing methods to more rapidly diagnose GBS, CIDP, and its variants, such as MMN.
Treatments – Developing more effective treatments to limit disease progression, prevent complications, and reduce long-term adversities.
Biomarkers – Identifying potential disease activity biomarkers by screening for proteins related to the nervous system and inflammation.
More details to come.
