April Sarcoidosis Awareness Month 2023 - Stand up for Sarc

Ellen Johnson

This year, I will be supporting Team Rally for Sarc runners who have been selected to represent the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) at the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon on November 5th, 2023! I am so proud to support them for being selected to be a member of Team Rally for Sarc. On November 5th, Team Rally for Sarc runners will be running 26.2 miles to raise awareness for sarcoidosis, help support those impacted by sarcoidosis, and help bring us closer to a cure. 

FSR is the leading international organization dedicated to finding a cure for sarcoidosis and improving care for sarcoidosis patients through research, education, and support. Since its establishment in 2000, FSR has fostered over $6 million in sarcoidosis-specific research efforts.  

Sarcoidosis impacts approximately 1.2 million people worldwide and 200,000 in the U.S. People living with sarcoidosis wake up each day and face the challenges of living with a rare disease including the symptoms and side effects like overwhelming fatigue, trouble breathing, chest pain, headaches, joint pain, skin lesions and rashes, an overall feeling of sickness, along with other physical and mental symptoms that patients experience living with sarcoidosis. Currently, there is no known cause and limited treatment options.  

I hope you will consider supporting Team Rally for Sarc this year by making a financial contribution to my page as I seek to support FSR and all those impacted by sarcoidosis. Your donation, of any amount, will not only help Team Rally for Sarc achieve their goals, but will help make more patient support, and one day, a cure for sarcoidosis possible. 

Thank you!
