Thank you for joining me in my efforts to support the Sjögren's Foundation! The foundation is a national nonprofit organization focused on increasing research, education and awareness for Sjögren's, a systemic autoimmune disease that affects the entire body. Along with symptoms of extensive dryness, other serious complications include profound fatigue, chronic pain, major organ involvement, neuropathies and lymphomas.
As many of you may know, my mother Yolanda was diagnosed with Sjögren's in September 2007. Since then, my entire family has been involved with the foundation to help raise awareness and the funds necessary to do so. With increased awareness and funding, we can achieve the Sjögren's Breakthrough Goal to shorten the time to diagnose Sjögren’s by 50% in 5 years!
The Sjögren’s Foundation's mission is to:
- Support Sjögren’s patients and their loved ones through education, resources and services
- Provide credible resources and education for healthcare professionals
- Serve as the voice for all Sjögren’s patients through advocacy and awareness initiatives
- Lead, encourage and fund innovative research projects to better understand, diagnose and treat Sjögren’s
