GBS is a very rare autoimmune disorder that affects the body’s peripheral nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord. GBS affects both genders, all ages, and all ethnic groups. Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP,) is characterized by progressive weakness and sensory loss in the patient’s arms and legs. CIDP is frequently not self-limiting and, if left untreated, may progress to wheelchair dependence.
Walk & Roll is the GBS|CIDP Foundation’s signature community events designed to create awareness of GBS, CIDP and Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN.). Walk & Roll is a free event held in cities all across the US and bring together patients, family members and caregivers. All funds raised through the Walk & Roll program will support research initiatives for treatments, diagnostic efficiency and genetic inheritance for GBS, CIDP and its variants.
GBS|CIDP Foundation International will be holding its Annual Walk & Roll event on Saturday, November 20 at the Coronado Tidelands Park. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and walk starts at 10 a.m.
