Answering TTP Foundation’s Walk to Answer TTP Together – Answering TTP Foundation – Mina Rajan.
I will be joining other TTP patients and supporters on September 24, 2011 to raise awareness for this orphaned disorder. We will be walking alone or in small groups.
Pledges will help us to raise funds for much needed research. This will ease treatment and ultimately find a cure for TTP. TTP is too rare to make it economical for pharmaceutical companies to fund specialized TTP research. Your donation, no matter how small, makes the fight possible.
We are a geographically dispersed patient group that will be walking alone or in small groups within our local communities. This gives us a sense of unification and strength. Education will help speed early detection of a TTP crisis. Without treatment, 95% of TTP patients die. Delayed diagnosis leads to irreversible complications from heart attack, stroke, kidney failure etc.
