Keyanna also has her Associates and has started a business called Soulful Sensations LLC. In her free time she loves to cook, sing, and be out in nature when possible.

Keyanna is passionate about helping people; she loves to go above and beyond for people to show that the world can still be good. She was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in 2021. Once Keyanna puts her mind to a task, she can accomplish anything, this disease will not stop her.

Linda W., Community Outreach Leader

Linda has sarcoidosis of the heart and lungs. After receiving her diagnosis, she retired as a pastor and director of an inner-city church in Dayton, Ohio. Initially, misdiagnosis nearly cost her life. When she went to Cleveland Clinic in December 2019, diagnosis was swift and treatment began immediately.
Sarcoidosis may have set her back but she enthusiastically uses her voice to advocate for others with this disease. She believes the lack of knowledge of sarcoidosis is a hindrance to the discovery of a cure.

There are approximately 1.2 million people worldwide who 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.  

This April, the sarcoidosis community is taking a stand and Standing up for Sarc! The sarcoidosis community will be raising awareness by Standing up for Sarc all month long in ways that will help increase understanding of the disease, accelerate research, and support those living with the physical and mental effects sarcoidosis can have on so many people from all over the world. 

The Team Give Sarc The Sac has taken the pledge for Sarcoidosis Awareness Month and will be Standing up for Sarc by joining the Steps for Sarc!  

We hope you will join us this month to help achieve our goals by: 

1. Making a donation to our fundraising page. 

2. Taking the pledge to Stand up for Sarc! 

3. Joining our team to create a movement during April and beyond! 

Let's get together and Stand up for Sarc!   

Thank you!
