Kick In to Stop Sarcoidosis

As you might know, I lost my dear brother, Joey, on February 7, 2018. He suffered from pulmonary sarcoidosis.
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. 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 in memory of my brother, Joe.
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.
Joe was a kind, compassionate and generous soul. He was a beautiful human being, a family man, fun-loving, loyal, hardworking and funny! He demonstrated his love for his family by showing up in the big moments and all of the little moments, too. I miss him every day!
Please consider helping by donating to Team Don Bon Joey. If you're able to, please join us on the walk: Sunday, 4/5/20 at 10:00 am at the Kensico Dam in Valhalla. Together, we can Stop Sarcoidosis!
