Donations to Cunnigham's testing

[thereishope]

I know that Dr Cunnigham's test has helped many people. And I know her research is beneficial to the PANDAS movement. But all that testing and research comes at a price. Does anyone know if there is a way a "regular perosn" can donate to her research? I'm not saying it would be much but even it helped cover some of the cost of running a test for one child, it would be good. With the Holidays approaching, I always put a foundation down on my Christmas list that people can donate to if they want to. She'd be one I would back up.

 

Anyway, I wanted to ask here before I bother Dr Cunningham directly. Thanks.

Vickie,

I keep saying the same thing but how can we start a nonprofit organization for PANDAS? Isn't there any lawyers here at ACN?

That way the money could go to research like Cunningham or getting the word out on PANDAS through advertising/walks etc. It really needs to be done! I know Diana was trying to get a group together to do this. Has anyone heard anything on the progress of this?

Thanks! I'll email them and see if there is a link to donations that way I can post it in various places easier. Also, it would make it easier for one to make a credit card donation. I'll post what their response is.

Thanks for posting this. I was just thinking the same thing last night as I drifted off to sleep, actually!
