Personal Stories

Wishing for another day

The conference provides the opportunity to share experiences, open up on an emotional level with others who truly understand the issues/ challenges we face, and to laugh and cry at the inspiring and stoic persons we meet. When you leave the conference, you have a feeling of sadness like you do when you go off to college for a year. You leave physically tired at all the information and emotions expended, upbeat towards the future, inspired by the experiences and people you meet, and wish you could have just one more day!

Changed my life

Overall, you are all incredibly amazing!!! I was completely in awe of your organization of this big undertaking. Your ability to be so professional and yet “down to earth” at the same time was exceptional.
You truly have changed my life and I will be forever grateful to you all!

Authoritative speakers

This was the most professionally run conference I've ever attended. The speakers were authoritative, willing to take questions, up front. The breadth of topics was terrific too.

An air of optimism

Even though everyone there is touched by the illness, I felt an air of optimism It made me realize I am not alone. I thought the lunch with a doctor was the best part: a one-on-one with someone that spoke and was very interested in our situation.

Will improve my quality of life

I enjoyed the balance between pure academia and peer experiences; the free-flow question and answer sessions, the instant bond of friendship and support between old hands and newbies like myself, and the incredible amount of information that I can now use to improve my current quality of life and future medical adventures.
