🧠 Today is #WorldMSADay, a crucial time to raise awareness about a disease with a misdiagnosis rate as high as 20%. ⚕️ Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting the central and autonomic nervous systems. It causes movement difficulties, balance and coordination issues, and autonomic dysfunction. The disease progresses rapidly, leading to increased disability and often necessitating walking aids. 👁️ A crucial aspect of #MSA is eye movement dysfunction, caused by degeneration in brainstem structures that control eye movements. Diagnosing MSA is particularly challenging: 🩺 MSA is categorized as an atypical parkinsonian syndrome due to its resemblance to Parkinson's disease. It’s frequently misdiagnosed as Parkinson's or progressive supranuclear palsy, complicating research efforts across all three conditions. 🩺MSA presents in two distinct forms: MSA-P (parkinsonian type) and MSA-C (cerebellar type), each with unique clinical features, progression rates, and treatment responses. These 2 forms are hard to distinguish. New research highlights the potential of eye movement monitoring to revolutionize MSA diagnosis and care. It offers the ability to: 🔬Improve diagnostic accuracy, reducing the need for unnecessary invasive tests 🔬Enhance patient selection for clinical trials, ultimately speeding up the development of new treatments 💪Today, let's raise awareness and work towards better outcomes for those living with MSA.

We’ve been absolutely blown away by the kind and generous donations we’ve received in the first few days of our Christmas appeal. Thank you so much to everyone who has made a donation.

Hopefully, Esmé’s Christmas Wish mailing will have arrived on your doorsteps this week. We know that this year has been a difficult year for some, so if you aren’t able to make a donation yourself, please do pass the mailing onto a friend or relative to read this important story and learn more about life with JIA.

Fundraising feats & the motivations behind them: Why do people choose to raise funds for charity? Here’s a look at some of the ways people fundraise for good causes, their achievements, and what motivated them.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! What better way to start the year than by signing up for a marathon?! This upcoming March 2025 I will be running a half marathon in my home city of Los Angeles. This will mark my third half marathon within 12 months (yes, that might seem crazy, I know), but my first half marathon in the city that I grew up in! 🌴💙 I have joined Team TMF to run with purpose this year and raise funds that will go towards the following: • Neurological research at partner hospitals such as Mass. General Hospital and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center 🏥 • Health & wellness programming, including Students Run LA and LAUSD's 26th Mile Program ✏️ • TMF’s Nonprofit Partnership Programs which assist 105+ other non-profit organizations to raise crucial funds for their own causes 🌎 More of a number’s person? Below are some stats of the impact your funds would contribute to: • $72+ million raised through charity programs • $6.4+ million donated to neurological research • 105+ non-profits supported annually If you’d like to help me reach our goal of $650, you can do so by donating using the link below. Any amount is truly appreciated! Or if you’d like to simply offer words of encouragement that my legs don’t give out on me, that’s always appreciated too. 😉 Posted: 1/13/2025
