Dear Doctor,
Imagine you have a debilitating disease that impacts every aspect of your life.
Then imagine what it’s like when no one has ever heard of your illness. That’s what life can be like for people with myasthenia gravis -- MG.
As a Physician who treats MG Patients, you see their struggle everyday. You know how many patients are unable to enjoy their daily lives, attend school, or work. MG can affect every one in different ways.
My goal is a world without myasthenia gravis.
The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America ( MGFA ) is the only national volunteer health agency dedicated to MG, and is committed to finding a cure, improving treatment options, and providing information and support to MG patients through research, education, community programs, and advocacy. In an effort to raise awareness and funds, the MGFA hosts walks from coast to coast.
In addition to raising funds, the MG Walk generates awareness , renews hope , and creates a community of caring and sharing. The MG Walk enabled patients to talk about their illness
– some for the first time -- and experience an outpouring of support, concern, and a pledge from family, friends, and coworkers to do more.
Today, I am asking you to help MG Patients in another way.

Spread the word!
Tell patients and their families about the walk and how to get involved. Display walk brochures and/or posters and encourage people to walk.

Form a team! Your fellow doctors, nurse practitioners, office staff and patients

Sponsor!
Give Cash or goods for the walk, and the MG Walk Office will help you promote your practice!

Donate!
Contributions of any size enable the MGFA to continue in their mission. Your gift will be a great help. Please donate to my team online at www.MGWalk.org by searching for my name.
Please give today and help me enable the MGFA to walk towards a world without myasthenia gravis .
Thank you so much.
Sincerely yours,
