How you can help TAMF…

To those who supported us last year, your presence and engagement were instrumental in raising awareness for PANDAS/PANS—an often-overlooked autoimmune disorder that claimed the life of Alex Manfull, at just 26 years old. Your participation in the inaugural run/walk allowed us to share Alex’s story and amplify the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, advocate for those affected by this challenging disorder, and support research.

We’re incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support we received last year – it truly made a difference! With nearly 300 runners, 60 participants in Advocacy Day, and a remarkable $100,132 raised, your contributions helped The Alex Manfull Fund make great strides forward.

We provided funding to a major PANDAS/PANS-related research project at Massachusetts General Hospital, allocated funds for a PANDAS/PANS fellowship at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, and were able to continue to support the “PANDAS/PANS and Other Neuroimmune Disorders” (POND) Brain Bank at Georgetown University.

This year, we’re counting on your support to raise funds for the creation of an incredibly exciting new program at Georgetown University Medical Center to advance PANDAS/PANS research, education, and clinical care. To elevate our fundraising efforts, consider starting a “donor squad” composed of family, friends, and co-workers who work together to raise funds. It’s really fun and a little competitive!

The top three donor squads that raise the most money will receive prizes for each member of your team. The prizes will be custom YETIs, custom sweatshirts, and Amazon gift cards!

For inquiries or to kick off your donor squad, please reach out to Marina Selenica (ms4739@georgetown.edu). Kindly provide the first and last names of all donor squad members so they can be listed on the Donor Up page. Click here to check in on your donor squad’s progress or to donate.

It’s important to note that a donor squad is strictly for fundraising purposes and that running in the race requires a separate registration.
