Hi, my name is Kaia, and I’m running in the TCS New York City Marathon for all of the patients with FD that I care for! I’ve been a Nurse Practitioner at the NYU Dysautonomia Center for 3 years, and in that time have grown very close to many people with FD and their families. I see what wonderful things the FD Foundation does for this beautiful group of people and I want to help support that! Financial support of the FD Foundation promotes top-quality medical care for people living with this terrible disease, supports the development of cutting-edge therapies to treat or cure genetic diseases by working with world-leading scientists in these fields, and most importantly to many with FD, it supports the beautiful efforts of the Foundation to help people with FD thrive and live meaningful and happy lives!! This is the second race for FD I’ll be running in, having run the 2020 NYC half-marathon! Please consider donating to my fundraising page to help today!! Together, we are racing to cure FD!
