The Alex Manfull Fund (TAMF) is hosting a 5K run/walk in Georgetown in Washington DC — and virtually — on June 3, 2023!
The Alex Manfull Fund recognizes the mental health crisis plaguing our nation’s youth and seeks to raise awareness, advance education of medical providers, and support more research to understand the role that infection and the immune system play in psychiatric disorders. Referred to by various names — post-infectious neuroimmune disorders, PANDAS, PANS, Autoimmune Encephalitis — these disorders look like mental illness but have a different cause and require different types of treatment to provide effective results and lasting recovery. These disorders, initially thought to only impact the pediatric population, are clearly also affecting adolescents and young adults at alarming rates and yet are very responsive to treatment when identified early. Had Alex received early diagnosis and appropriate treatment for PANDAS, she would be with us today.
Please support TAMF by participating in our 5K event — run, walk, create a team to raise funds, or simply make a gift to help us realize our vision that no life ever again be cut short – or interrupted – by any post-infectious neuroimmune disorder.
