Advocacy For Neuroacanthocytosis Patients
(UK, 1133182) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1133182) Do you have a friend who once would have been running in the London Marathon, but now finds it difficult to slowly walk to the end of the street? This is what happens to people who are often in their mid-20’s with neuroacanthocytosis. They have the bad luck to inherit mutated genes that slowly cause the brain cells that control movement to die. Bewilderment is their first response: “Why am I always stumbling?” “Why do I uncontrollably bite my tongue?” “Why can’t I live on my own any longer?” When the diagnosis finally comes they ask “What can I do. Who will help?” When this happened to our daughter, friends immediately asked “Can we help?” and the Advocacy for Neuroacanthocytosis Patients began. We now are a world-wide alliance of clinicians , scientists and patients searching together for he mechanisms that cause brain cell death. We part of the many working on the same problem as it relates to neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s. We and they are now moving to understand the small structural anomalies that may cause brain cell death. University clinics and labs do the work. Our job is to engage excellent scientists with the important questions through our international symposia and to find the money to support their investigations. The alliances success is measured by the support from American and European grant agencies and the discoveries that have been announced in academics papers. We have 7 new applications for important grants. The Virgin team runners and your generosity will make this work run much faster. Thanks for YOUR help! www.naadvocacy.org
