    Default Wegeners charity

    Hi everybody!

    (hi Dr Nick!)

    I was wondering if anybody might have information on charities or financial support for Wegs or vasculitis in general. I already give some spare change to various charities, it wouldn’t hurt if one more went on the list, but I can’t seem to find anything at all. Maybe the condition is just too rare for that sort of thing, but any info would be welcome.

    Hopefully someone else will chime in but I know who comes do mind for me right off the top and that is Andrew who runs this site for us. There is a 'donation' thread here and once in a while some of us kick in to help keep the lights on. This message board and the people I get to talk with is as important to me as any other of my medical support.

    The Vasculitis Foundation is another good place for patient support and I know they also fund some research projects and special events for us Vasculitis patients.
    I was much more active with them many years ago. Before the internet even. I have attended confrences put on by them that hosted medical specialists and allowed patients to meet and network. They work with some of the top doctors in the field.

    I lived with this illness for over 15 years without talking to a single other person with Wegener's. It was the work of the VF founder Marilyn Sampson that made it possible. In fact the first person I ever talked to was HER over the phone many many years ago.

    Thanks Peter you have jogged my brain enough to realize that I myself to need to touch base with them and see what is going on in recent times. I'm a bit out of touch.

    The Vasculitis Foundation also has some good educational webinars and fund raising events too. They are a good resource for us.

    Thanks Michelle, amazing thing is I never even found this on a normal search. Guess the search algorithm is geared toward selling shoes.
