Jennifer's March to Conquer Chiari
A nonprofit fundraiser supporting
Conquer ChiariI would love to raise $100 to go toward research and development- Chiari and other sister disorders.
$100
raised by 3 people
$100 goal
Let me tell you a little of the reason why Conquer Chiari means the world to me before you start reading the general information on this fundraiser:
In February of 2014, I started my journey as a Community Columnist for Conquer Chiari and throughout my time in that position, I saw firsthand the much needed, well thought out and critical clinical/research studies that Conquer Chiari funds. I can say that without a doubt, the knowledge, analysis, and insight that both STUDENTS and WELL SEASONED RESEARCHERS provide deeply enhances the overall outlook and doctoral understanding regarding Chiari and it's related sister disorders that affect many more individuals than previously estimated.
My hope is that I am able to raise AT LEAST $100 to maintain this research to better assist present and future Chiarians' in their fight to conquer and stay at least one step ahead of their symptoms- the top 5 being: Headache/Migraine, Dizziness, Difficulty Sleeping, Weakness in arms & legs, and Neck pain . (More info on symptoms here: https://www.conquerchiari.org/documents/presentations/SYMPTOMS%20Presentation.pdf)
As always, feel free to talk to me about anything related to Chiari, as I am an open book. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!!!!!!!
