Support Behcet's Research for Biz
Donation protected
As many of you know, our dear Elizabeth Gayson was first diagnosed with Behcet's Disease at the young age of 16. While this autoimmune disorder is mainly found in the Middle and Far East, the incidence in the US is rare (fewer than 200,000 cases ) and our Biz was unfortunately one of these rare cases.
Treatment currently works on easing the symptoms as there is no definitive cure. This may include an array of steroids and other drugs or even surgeries , and Biz suffered through all that in her short time here on earth.
Several years ago, her journey brought her to New York City to spend time at the only clinic in the US dedicated to the study of people diagnosed with this disease. Dr. Yusef Yazici, who was one of her physicians there, has begun his own research at Behçet’s Syndrome Research Program at NYU Langone Medical Center.
In Elizabeth's memory, I would like to ask you to help fund his project to find more answers to the mystery of this debilitating disease and possibly come up with a cure. I saw how she suffered with this and would love if we could help those who suffer still.
In honor of Elizabeth and others with Behcet's , it would mean so much to our entire family if you could contribute something to help fund this research. It is too late to save her life, but others can possibly live longer because of you.
And other three year olds can grow up with both of their parents.
Thank you for giving what you can...... from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
