Help Sara raise money

For participating in Miles for Migraine Philadelphia - 2023

My Story…

Want to join me in supporting a good cause? I'm raising money for Miles for Migraine and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500, every little bit helps. Every dollar raised will benefit the Jefferson Headache Center. Thank you for your support. Miles for migraine was created to improve the lives of patients and their families, and to ultimately help to find a cure for migraine.

I began having migraines as a child with and with out vestibular symptoms. As I got older, I developed chronic migraines and the vestibular attacks became more severe and debilitating, requiring medical attention. Over the years, I went to several neurologists and ENTs that couldn’t help me before I ended up at the Jefferson Headache Center in 2019. I have nothing but positive things to say about the clinical team. For me, Jefferson Headache Center was a last resort and I didn’t know what to expect. After trying many different medications and treatments, I am having fewer migraines, and for the first time ever I have not had a vestibular attack in over a year. My quality of life has greatly improved. I know there is a possibility that this relief won’t last even with continuing my current treatment plan, but I would not have made any progress if it weren’t for Jefferson and the advancement of migraine treatment. 

Sadly, migraine research is severely underfunded despite affecting 1 in 7 people. Preventatives I take, such as CGRP blockers and botox injections, are unaffordable with out insurance.  Please consider donating to help others like myself that would greatly benefit from a cure.
