Dear FMD patients, friends, and supporters,

My name is Kelly, and I was recently diagnosed with FMD this year. I have been inspired, guided, and comforted through the FMDSA. I have had the privilege to work alongside Pam Mace on new projects for the organization and am thrilled to be part of the newsletter and share information about our race in the fall. This year has been overwhelmingly complicated for me. I am a Registered Nurse by trade and never expected such a diagnosis. I had bilateral spontaneous vertebral artery dissections that led to needing urgent stent placement, followed by a blood clot, TIA, and now being a more complex case than anyone could have imagined. I am learning ways to navigate this challenging diagnosis through being involved with the FMDSA, and special support groups, and educating myself. The connections I have made with other FMD patients, and the information provided by the FMDSA have been monumental in my recovery process.

This year we have officially become a Charity Partner large race in Michigan. We are now part of the https://runsignup.com/Race/19501/Charity/27768.
The FMDSA is a featured charity of the event. Our team is titled FMD Feet Forward. The event is located on the beautiful Belle Isle in the Metro Detroit Area. The event takes place on Sunday, September 15th, 2024. The race can be completed in person or virtually. If you are not local, please consider signing up to run/walk as a virtual team member. The more participants, the more we can spread the word about FMD and educate our communities.

By participating or donating to our race, you are directly contributing to research, the patient registry, patient support networks, and education. Your support will help fund the FMDSA’s continued efforts to bring education, awareness, and advancements in the treatment of FMD. If you are unable to participate in the race locally, please consider virtual participation. Participating in the race is not only a way to support our cause but also an opportunity to prioritize being involved with others who have FMD.

We ask, if possible, to register, race, donate, and spread the word! If you have any questions, or comments, or want to be in touch please feel free to email me at [email protected]
