Raising awareness of a rare disease is never easy. Everyone knows someone affected by stroke, cancer or dementia, and we've all heard of the big charities that do fantastic work to help people with these conditions. But until someone you know is affected by Guillain-Barré syndrome or CIDP, chances are that you've never heard of it before. That's where GAIN comes in, providing information and support when it is needed most. It's really important that people know there is help available if they have been recently-diagnosed with GBS or CIDP. And that's where you come in. Your donation could pay towards leaflets and information packs for hospitals and surgeries throughout the UK and Ireland, signposting patients and their families to the help and support offered by GAIN. It could pay for a communication aid, or travel expenses during months of daily hospital visits. Your donation means that GAIN will continue to be there when they are needed. Thank you x
