Help Magen raise money

For participating in Miles for Migraine Race - Philadelphia, 2016

My Story…

I have suffered from chronic migraine since the age of 14. Surprisingly, in the 30+ years since I was first diagnosed with this neurological disease, doctors still do not know what causes migraine, and we are not much closer to having a cure. Migraine is the 3rd most prevalent and 6th most disabling disease in the world, affecting 38 million Americans and over 1 billion people world wide. In spite of the vast prevalence of migraine and its severe impact on the sufferer's quality of life, migraine research is severely underfunded. In 2013, NIH funding for migraine research was just $.50 per sufferer. Migraine is more than a "bad headache"; severe pain is just one of an incapacitating collection of neurological symptoms. I hope you will join me in raising awareness as well as money for research to discover the causes, improve the treatment and find a cure. Thank you so much for your support! Magen
