#GivingTuesday2018
November 27th marks the 2nd year of Human Para’s #GivingTuesday campaign. 2017 was a huge success, raising $9,254.26 to kick off the Crohn’s/MAP Testing Study.
Human Para’s #GivingTuesday2018 campaign is hoping to raise $5,000 to fund our next MAP research project. After the Berkeley conference and discussion by the Board, we are actively seeking partners for a PEDIATRIC testing study. Details will be released as soon as they are finalized, but be assured: ALL funds raised on #GivingTuesday will go directly to MAP research.
And your funds could be TRIPLED this Tuesday!! Read on to find out how.
Berkeley Conference | Preliminary Findings of the MAP/Crohn’s Disease Testing Study
Dr. J. Todd Kuenstner reports preliminary results of the MAP/Crohn’s disease testing study, which found that viable MAP organisms were detected by phage assay in 54.6% of the 194 subjects in the study. The study will remain blinded until March 2019, when all testing is complete. Publication is expected in July 2019. Thank you to everyone who has made this study possible. To all of the Crohn’s and control subject participants, to the researchers who have donated their time and expertise, and to our Human Para community who have donated time and resources to this endeavor. A special note of thanks to Valerie Joly of Crohn’s Warrior Fights and the Denver, NC community for hosting a golf tournament which raised a whopping $22,678.32, and funded the majority of the study. We couldn’t have done it without all of you!
