I’m thrilled to be participating in duradash® 2026, an annual fundraising event for the Spinal CSF Leak Foundation. This year’s virtual fundraiser will run from May 24–June 7, 2026. The duradash® event aims to raise awareness and funds in support of spinal CSF leak research and education, so that more patients living with this under-diagnosed and disabling neurologic disorder are able to receive correct and timely diagnosis and treatment.

The virtual challenge aims for a total of 150 minutes of any activity, to be done at any time, anywhere. The theme is to "start where you are" - to meet people at their current level of ability and encouraging activity meaningful for the individual.

My goal is to work 15-30 minutes everyday on creating and sharing my experience with a CSF leak on my socials to bring more awareness to this condition. Whether thats writing, drawing, or making a video to post to my socials.

I've currently completed 95 minutes of these activitys as of 5/29.

I have struggled with chronic illness for 23 years now, I was 11 when my life first flipped upside down. Only in the last three years have I started to understand my symptoms and recieved treatment for a suspected CSF leak that has given me relief from some of my worst symptoms. While it's been a long journey (and I know I still have a long way to go) with this organization I feel like there is some light at the end of the tunnel. And I so appreciate this community of patients and doctors who not only work to treat our symptoms... but support us in figuring out how to still build a life worth living with a CSF leak.

I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts research and funding for this under-diagnosed, debilitating condition. This organization has done so much in helping educate me and others like me while also creating a space for our voices to be heard by the experts in the field.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!
• Stay Engaged: Check back periodically for updates on my progress to my activity goal! Share my accomplishment far and wide!
