There is so much to celebrate as GBS-CIDP Awareness Month comes to a close.🎉

Across the country, our community came together to raise awareness in meaningful ways.

We saw:
- 4 provincial proclamations
- 35 city and town proclamations
- 27 landmark lightings

We also heard from patients who shared their experiences and helped put a human face on these conditions.

Awareness is built one conversation, one story, and one act of support at a time.

This month, thousands of people learned about GBS, CIDP and related conditions because of your efforts.

Thank you for helping create a stronger, more visible community. 💙
