Go Fund Me Project to Raise $
for the Adult Guidelines for Diagnosing and Treating CVS -
It is so exciting that the CVSA and the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society (ANMS) will partner to develop Adult Guidelines!
When CVSA was founded in 1993, it was thought that CVS was a condition of childhood and adolescence. We now know that adults also suffer from CVS. CVS may begin in childhood, and can extend into adulthood. There is also adult onset CVS. As so many adults can attest, the condition causes untold suffering and disability, and often leads to family, school and career upheaval.
With Children's Guidelines already in place thanks to CVSA fundraising, and our strong team of medical advisors, we are embarking on a partnership project that will help adult sufferers around the world. When completed, these guidelines will help doctors and ER personnel know how to better care for CVS patients.
Creating medical guidelines is expensive....and that is where you come in. CVSA is the financial sponsor for these guidelines, but we are asking for your help to join us in funding this project. All donations are greatly appreciated! We will keep you posted with more information on the progress of this project as we move forward.
Please visit our page at:
http://www.gofundme.com/CVSAdultGuidelines
Total Amount Raised to Date: $ 5183.00
Thank you from the Board of Directors
at the Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Association!
