What's Happening?
The Twin Cities Walk & Roll event is dedicated to raising awareness and support for individuals affected by Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). Andy Kurtzweil, a participant, shares his personal journey with GBS, highlighting the challenges from food poisoning to paralysis that many face. The event aims to provide a platform for those impacted by these rare conditions, fostering community support and understanding.
Why It's Important?
GBS and CIDP are rare neurological disorders that can lead to severe physical impairments. Events like the Twin Cities Walk & Roll are crucial for increasing public awareness and support for affected individuals. By sharing personal stories and experiences, the event helps to educate the public and promote empathy and understanding. This can lead to better support systems and potentially more funding for research and treatment options, benefiting those living with these conditions.
