My Nonprofit Reviews

I can't help but wonder where I would be today had I not found the WED/RLS Foundation when I did. I was suffering from uncontrollable and severe leg 'symptoms' that were getting progressively worse and controlled only with strong narcotics. Where would that have led me ??? At that time, I didn't even have a name for what was happening to me nor could I find a doctor any wiser. And then I heard about THIS FOUNDATION !!! The Foundation was still pretty new at that time (1990's) and their information compared with today was pretty sketchy. However it was also evident t that I was not alone and others were not only volunteering their time to help search for answers but willing to share what they had learned. Importantly, I found some relief from this miserable condition.
I'm a strong believer in 'giving back' and I decided to try to help in any way I could so others would have an easier time.

As a result I sat on the Board for six years, have volunteered for our local Support Group and am on the Canadian WED/RLS board. I've specifically targeted the medical community and my particular interest is in our 'aging population' (since I am one!) and the multiple problems this disease can exacerbate.

Without the direction of the Foundation none of this would have been possible. I owe a great debt .
Much is left to be done. I hope others with this condition will help us continue to find answers. We can always use your help.
