This run/walk/roll event, sponsored by the nonprofit Alex Manfull Fund (TheAlexmanfullFund.org), aims to raise awareness and fund research on PANS and PANDAS, Post-Infectious Immune-Mediated Neuropsychiatric Disorders. The disease arises from an abnormal immune response following common infections in kids and young adults. Funds raised last year supported cutting-edge research on PANS and PANDAS at academic facilities around the country, including the POND Brain Bank at Georgetown University. Proceeds from this year’s race will help fund the POND Brain Bank and other critical research, education, and clinical care. The event commemorates the life of Alex Manfull who died at age 26 due to PANDAS. Susan and William Manfull, Alex’s parents, established the Fund in their daughter’s name with the vision that no life ever again be cut short — or interrupted — by this disease.
