Every May, we come together to shine a light on Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP).

​

These are rare, life-changing conditions that too many people still haven’t heard of until they impact them or someone they love.

 

Awareness Month is about changing that.

​

It’s about making these conditions visible.
It’s about helping people get diagnosed faster.
And it’s about making sure no one faces Inflammatory Neuropathies alone.

​​

​

Get INvolved​

This year, we’re inviting you to be part of two simple, but powerful campaigns:

​

IN the Water

Take to the water, whether that’s a swim, paddle, dip, or even just getting your feet wet.

 

It’s a moment to reflect, raise awareness, and stand in solidarity with everyone impacted by GBS and CIDP. You can even raise some money for us at the same time.

You can find more by clicking on the button below.

Share & Shout

Use your voice. Share your story. Start a conversation.

Post on social media, talk to your workplace, or simply tell a friend about your condition. The more people who understand these conditions, the more change we can create.

Awareness Month is driven by people like you, our wonderful community of people, families, clinicians, and supporters. However you choose to get involved, you’re helping to build understanding, support, and hope.

If you’d like to take part, fundraise, or run your own activity, we’d love to hear from you.
