Thank you for your generosity in making a donation in memory of Joe Fisher! He had Corticobasal Degeneration, a very rare disorder. His family donated his precious brain to help others by enabling research into CBD.
CBD is a neurodegenerative disorder with no known cause,
treatment, or cure. It affects parts of the brain that control
walking, coordination, balance, speech, vision, swallowing, cognition,
personality, and behavior. Symptoms typically begin in the early or
mid-60s. Those with CBD live, on average, 5-8 years after symptom
onset. It is a challenging disorder for everyone involved.
CBD can be a difficult disease to diagnose because it can look
like stroke, Parkinson's Disease, and Alzheimer's. It took several
years for Joe Fisher to receive a CBD diagnosis.
Like many neurological disorders, the accuracy of a CBD
diagnosis is very low. One reason is because the disorder is rare so
most neurologists never see a single case in their lifetime. CBD can
only be confirmed through brain donation. Mr.
Fisher's family has donated his brain to the Mayo Clinic so
that the diagnosis can be confirmed. Actually, we all benefit from
this generous act because the medical research it enables helps us all.
Brain Support
Network welcomes tax-deductible donations in memory of
Joe Fisher. Charitable contributions allow us to
provide support for CBD families in the US, and to organize brain
donations for those coping with neurological disorders. We have helped
over 150 families since 2007. Donations can be made by credit card
online here or by check mailed to Brain
Support Network, PO Box 7264, Menlo Park, CA 94026.
Thank you for your generosity!
