Thank you for visiting my Fundraising Page! I am running the Boston Marathon on April 19, 2010 to raise money for Narcolepsy. Which is a neurological condition characterized by uncontrollable sleep attacks. Additionally there are several other symptoms that present significant challenges to approximately 50% of all patients who suffer from this disease. Scientists recently have come to understand that theses sleep attacks may be caused by chemical deficiency in the brain. Narcolepsy is the fourth most common sleep disorder, behind sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless leg syndrome. These four sleep disorders affect 40 million people in the United States. Narcolepsy is believed to affect 200,000 individuals in the country, however only 50,000 patients suffering from the condition have been medically diagnosed. Narcolepsy presents many challenges to both patients and those in the medical community; however with a positive approach, lifestyle modifications and accurate diagnosis this disease can be controlled.

Please visit the web site for Narcolepsy to learn more about this cause.
