The Alex Manfull Fund 5K Run/Walk April 12, 2025 | 8:00 a.m. Hains Point – 972 Ohio Dr. SW, Washington, DC
The Alex Manfull Fund was created in loving memory of Alex Manfull, whose life was tragically cut short by PANDAS/PANS. Her legacy inspires our mission to advance groundbreaking research and nurture experts at the crossroads of infection, mental health, neurology, and immunology and reminds us that common infections like Strep can trigger these disorders.
Funds raised from the 5K will support:
The POND Brain Bank at Georgetown Medical Center
The Alex Manfull Neuroimmune Psychiatry Program Fellowship Fund at Dartmouth
The Alex Manfull PANDAS/PANS Fellowship Fund at Georgetown
Join us in honoring Alex’s legacy and building a brighter future for all families affected by PANDAS & PANS.
Mark your calendars for NAPPA’s annual 2025 PANS/PANDAS Capitol Hill Advocacy Days, taking place on April 10th and 11th! We have scheduled a two-day format this year to allow for more flexibility with travel and planning meetings. Come for one or both days!
Details and registration information coming soon—hope to see you for this important opportunity to have our voices heard in Washington, DC this spring!
Our Mission
The Alex Manfull Fund supports awareness, education, and research to further understand the incidence, etiology, and best treatment of post-infectious neuroimmune disorders (aka PANDAS, PANS, and Autoimmune Encephalitis) with an emphasis on their manifestation in Adolescents and Young Adults. Our ultimate goal is that no life ever again be cut short – or interrupted – by any neuroimmune disorder.
One of Alex’s favorite inspirational quotes:
“I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.”
