MGFA is pleased to award research grants each year to help advance the understanding of myasthenia gravis. Congratulations to the amazingly creative medical professionals and researchers who earned the 2020 funding grants.

Life with MG can be challenging; from managing symptoms to multiple medications to worrying about potential worsening. However, we know that these challenges are amplified further when people are managing other conditions in addition to their MG. People with MG that have other medical conditions often require treatment by health care providers who are not experts in MG.

Jessica Collier began feeling the symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis back in 1997. She was officially diagnosed in 1998. But, she never let the disease impact her incredibly positive attitude and drive to do good for the community. She took an extremely creative path to drive awareness of the disease by creating “Mermaid Mondays” during MG Awareness Month every year.

Ronni Merrill Faust is a cabaret singer and dedicated supporter of MGFA since her husband was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis six years ago. Ronni talked to the MGFA staff in the July 2020 MGFA News enewsletter.
