About This Campaign

Please join us on April 13th to increase awareness and advance education for neuroimmune disorders. The race will be in honor of Alex Manfull who became a casualty of this horrendous condition in 2018.

Please consider supporting this important and underfunded cause. You can donate to the general fund or give to a donor squad. Once you donate, you will be sent a separate link to register for the race.

It's important to note that a donor squad is strictly for fundraising purposes and running in the race requires separate registration.

The top three donor squads that raise the most money will receive prizes for each member of your team. The prizes will be custom YETIS/Stanley’s, custom sweatshirts, and Amazon gift cards!

So, get out there, assemble a donor squad, get donations, spread the word about our cause, and start training for April 13th! We can’t wait to see you there! For inquiries or to kick off your donor squad, please reach out to Marina Selenica ([email protected]). Kindly provide the first and last names of all donor squad members so they can be listed on the Donor Up page.

Event Information

When Alex Manfull died, at 26 years old, due to a neuroimmune disorder known as PANDAS, Susan and William Manfull established a Fund in their daughter’s name with the vision that no life ever again be cut short — or interrupted — by PANDAS/PANS. The Alex Manfull Fund is proud to have provided the funding to establish a repository at Georgetown University Medical Center for brains from donors diagnosed with neuroimmune disorders which, in January 2022, became the POND Brain Bank — PANDAS/PANS and Other Neuroimmune Disorders Brain Bank. We collaborate with other advocacy groups to increase awareness and advance education for physicians and mental health professionals about how to recognize and treat these disorders. If only one of Alex’s doctors had recognized PANDAS, Alex would be here today. Originally from New Hampshire, Alex died in Washington, DC in 2018. She loved to run along the Potomac so we know this race would be very meaningful to her.

More About The Cause(s)

The Alex Manfull Fund supports awareness, education, and research to further understand the incidence, etiology, and best treatments of post-infectious neuroimmune disorders (aka PANDAS, PANS, and Autoimmune Encephalitis) with an emphasis on their manifestation in Adolescents and Young Adults. Our ultimate goal is that no life ever again be cut short – or interrupted – by any neuroimmune disorder. TAMF is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization; all donations are tax-deductible to the full extent permitted by law.
