Guillain-Barre & Associated Inflammatory Neuropathies

It's time for another GAIN lowdown! Issue 7 has just dropped so stick the kettle on, get comfortable, and prepare for an excellent read. What do we have for you this month? To name a few: Our AGM, Big Get Together, fundraising champions, GAIN's presence at major events, places in the top runs in the UK, and our contribution to one of the biggest public engagement exercises in NHS history. All of this is just a click away: https://lnkd.in/eQXCzXtP

Rich is down in London for a chat with Chris Kane MP about being an ally for Guillain-Barre & Associated Inflammatory Neuropathies in parliament. If you think your MP would be willing to support us then please get in touch and let’s see if we can build a cross party group who can highlight the needs of the #GBS and #CIDP Community

It's only 200 Club time again! Who will walk away with the prizes for December? We're only three months away from the mega March jackpot so if you want to be in with a chance, click the link: https://lnkd.in/dFJTvHH

About to hit the commute home? Maybe you're about to go and cook up a storm in the kitchen? Or are you sitting wondering what to do for the next couple of hours? Well why don't you pop on a certain 5 star podcast⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A huge thank you to our top fans! Touching a Nerve with Rich and Al is available Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon, and features GAIN CEO Rich Collins and Al Bailey, a former pro-rugby player diagnosed with CIDP. Rich and Al are chatting with people from around the world impacted by adversity or challenge, or people looking to make a difference or take on something huge. So far the duo have talked to Lynn Rogers, a Neuroscientist and an acclomished endurance athlete who happens to have CIDP, and John Solosy who took on a 3,000 mile row across the Atlantic for charity.
