Kick In to Stop Sarcoidosis

Vel Williamson

VelWill Beat Sarcoidosis

Thank you for visiting my page!

The fight against sarcoidosis is a cause that is important to me. As you may know, I've been suffering from this unforgiving disease since July 2015.

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. My personal experience with sarcoidosis is with my lungs, kidneys, eyes, and skin.

There is currently no known cure for this disease 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.

Please consider helping me reach my goal. Together, we can Stop Sarcoidosis!
