As you might know, the fight against sarcoidosis is a cause that is important to me.
Sarcoidosis is a rare, often chronic inflammatory disorder that causes the formation of granulomas, or clumps of inflammatory cells. This can occur in almost any organ in the body, most commonly affecting the lungs, lymph nodes, skin and eyes. While this disease affects as many as 200,000 Americans, there is currently no known cure and treatment options are limited and often ineffective.
I have chosen to support the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) by fundraising for Team KISS!
KISS stands for Kick In to Stop Sarcoidosis, and that’s what you'll be doing by supporting my page. FSR is the leading nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for this disease and improving care and treatment options for sarcoidosis patients. The funds all go directly to FSR and their programs for improving patient education, supporting patients and their caretakers, and of course, funding research to find better treatment options and one day, a cure.
And for those that don't know this disease has played a big part in my own life for the last year keeping up with my mom and her hospitalizations and symptoms and reporting to the foundations patient registry in order to help those doing the research to find a cure or even a treatment A cause anything. Sarcoidosis played part in my mother's liver disease and ultimately her passing, and i know this is a cause she would have wanted to have her memory used for. She was the most amazing person and though not having her here will never get easier. This is a fight worth being a part of. This is a part of my life for the rest of my life. So lets make her memory a message for those who are living with and those caring for and family and friends of everyone living and passed with sarcoidosis and I promise we can make a difference even just a small difference is still progress.
"Remember you are braver then you believe, stronger then you seem, and smarter then you think and if ever there comes a time when we are apart just know I will always be with you"
