"You gotta stand for something bigger than yourself" - Sir Charles Barkley


Friends + Family,

Thank you for visiting my page! The fight against Sarcoidosis is a cause that's important to me.

Since I'm personally battling (cardiac) Sarcoidosis, I have chosen to support the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) by fundraising for Team KISS in order to find a cure. I'm hoping you will join 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, heart, 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.

KISS stands for (K)ick (I)n to (S)top (S)arcoidosis, and that’s what you'll be doing by supporting my effort. 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.

Thank you for your consideration in helping me reach my goal. Together, we can Stop Sarcoidosis!

With gratitude,

Tony
